That cant be good. Are those aftermarket headers?

Under certain conditions it may be normal. You typically don't see it because it happens at high RPM and high load conditions that exist for a period of time. Is the CEL light on? Any engine or exhaust mods? Explain the conditions under which you witnessed this please.

just cruising to and from work.40 45 mph. i would understand holding it wide open for a hour trying to get up a hill.

WOT for only a minute on a warmed up engine can do it - especially with these new low-emission engines that run awful lean to begin with.

That said - I'm suprised it's still red hot when you've probably gone down a side street, pulled into a parking lot, shut the engine off and got out and popped the hood to look...

Give a little more info about when you see it - what is the last 5 minutes of driving - stop and go, all 45mph uphill and then on-street parking and you jump out and look underneath?
