Exhaust bright red hot after a short drive
I have a 1985 RX7 12A (GSL) stock with manual transmission. I been have problems with it loosing power after it warm up. Today, I test drove it for about 10 minutes and after the test drive I notice the exhaust system after the exhaust manifold was bright red hot at 11:00 AM in the morning. What could cause the exhaust to heat up like this? .

Do you have more history on the vehicle? Did you buy it like this, was it running just fine and then this happened, or did someone work on it and now the issue is happening?
The engine is likely running too lean due to timing being way out or the cat being clogged.

as someone already said , a trailing plug that doesnt fire (either because of bad plug or plug cable or faulty coil) will raise egts (+200C)
that will make your exhaust glow
