Glowing silencer after hard drive
 
Should i be concerned? It's glowing inside the exhaust.

been driving like this over 1000km and also been on a track.

im not worried yet :)

Are you talking about your pre-cat? If so, they sometimes glow because they get so hot. Most people recommend replacing it with a downpipe.

silencer glowing?? do you mean the catalytic converter (middle pipe) or pre-cat (first pipe from the engine)??

i think yours are cloged... time to replace it... bad for the engine! get a downpipe like what Chaste94 have recommend you...

Created by a mass build up of heat, I would also reccomend a downpipe.

Glowing inside is normal under hard driving conditions

you're not supposed to drive your car hard with the silencer on!
