I was bored tonight so I decided to run my car up and down a deserted back road. It's about 55-65 degrees Farenheit right now. So I drove it up and down a couple times letting each gear hit 6500 rpm before I shifted and when I got home I popped open my hood and my Exhaust manifold was GLOWING RED. It glew for less than a minute then return back to normal.

Please tell me if this is a problem I should be worried about.

thanks
