Best Answer

Your engine is running too lean, probably the result of either a vacuum leak or possibly a damaged EGR valve. You will damage the valves, pistons or who knows what if you don't take care of this problem immediately.

Red hot exhaust manifold 92 Camaro?

If it's glowing red you have a vaccum leak someplace, probably in the intake manifold or the engine is running lean on fuel or possibly too rich as the unburnt fuel is burning in the exhaust.

It could be running lean. Check the fuel filter. It could also be a vacuum leak or the EGR valve. It would probably be a good idea to not run it much until you've worked out the problem. There are quite a few possibilities, and some of them are not very expensive, but if the exhaust manifold is getting that hot you could be damaging your exhaust valves. If the exhaust manifold is glowing, it's not the cat-converter.
