13b Troubleshootin

hello everyone.
i have a fuel injected non-turbo 13b, it has a high flow catalytic converter, and high flow can......whenever i go out for a ride, just behind the catalytic converter, the pipe gets red hot, and i was wondering if anyone knew what this might be from and how i could fix it????

Does this hight flow cat have the air tube for the air pump and have you checked your timing?

Cats don't last long without an air pump on a rotary due to the higher exhaust temps. If you don't need to pass emissions, it might be time to replace the cat with a good pre-silencer/mid-muffler.
