this happens to rx8s a lot, its very common for the cat to break up and really stop the flow.
my guess: you have something in there thats blocking the path of the exhaust.

I know, that's what I'm saying, refer to what everyone told you to check on the m10 with this m20 car, an engine is an engine.Leave a comment:

Yes with the m10, this is my m20 :D
I recently did the headgasket, water pump, intake gaskets ...the hole nine yards. Had a bad vacuum leak but found out it was the metal breather tube. I fixed that and my car ran great ever since! But last night I was like wtf. Is it normal for that to happen in high rpms for some few mins? But like I said since I put that muffler on it killed my top end ... I have no problem drive normal like todayLeave a comment:

Didn't I already walk you through this with the m10 car?
Any misfires? Timing? Did you try to "tune" something?Leave a comment:

Exhaust Manifold glowing
So after a few mins of some drifting and donuts i stop and someone says my car is on fire. I pop the hood and the headers are glowing.
No just so you guys no I have a "stock" ETA. How ever 2 weeks ago I put a new muffler on for sounds. I noticed with this muffler I lost some top end power( 4500 and up) I am assuming that theres wayyyyy to much back pressure. So I did a few more round and would let the car cool for about 15 mins. After One of the last runs I looked under and saw the headers, downpipe and piping to the cat glowing. Any ideas what it could be? Running Lean? or the muffler isnt flowing well? I never had this problem b4 till last night.
I had that shit happen on my exploder but figured out that a plastic bag attached itself to the cat hence the smell and glowing pipping.
