changed the oil in the fb then set the tps, it was idling for 10 or 15 mins at 800 and just before i turned it off i looked underneath to see where the smoke was coming from (oil leak or something burning off) and saw that the cat was glowing red. not all that bright but it was glowing.



is this a problem?

i just talked to the guy who put the muff on on monday and he says that its normal for them to glow. he says thats how they convert, by cooking the stuff. he says as long as there is good flow out of the pipes theres no problem
