Default glowing cat..

after i did my headers car ran fine for a day, then the car has lost power and looked and the cat was glowing red. i kno when headers glow it means you have a clogged cat. the cat is a high flow one and is only 6 months old. what is the problem, and is this my power loss most likely? thx

Your car could be running rich, or your fuel is not completely burning in the CC, It appears to be spontaneously combusting in your cat. I may be wrong as in not an expert on troubleshooting but that would be my first guess.

I'll have to try that excuse with my mom. She didnt buiy it when I said it was a safety hazzard after my last one caught fire from a bad h2o pump, so I dont think she'll buy this one.
