there is only one reason that i know of to make exhaust manifolds turn red the timing on engine is to far advanced have the engine timed .if the distributer is loose this will cause it if distributer is not loose, maybe the automatioc advance and retard on distribuor are not working. this is sometimes caused by clogged vaccuum line going to the distributor

I'm not familiar with a Kia, but the first thing that I would suspect on a 12 year old car would be a blocked catalytic converter. Also, check that the exhaust system isn't crushed or collapsed anywhere restricting the exhaust flow.
What makes the exhaust manifold get red hot on a 1985 Chevy Suburban with a 350 throttle body?
The exhaust manifolds on a normal, properly tuned vehicle engine WILL NOT overheat to the point they glow unless you have a turbo setup. If this happens you have improper fuel mixture or the timing is off. Even a turbo setup should only have a small bit of orange glow and that's only if you're running the engine hard.
