I'm not going to comment on spelling as mine is piss poor sometimes


It's not got anything to do with the remus powerizer as mine has not got one and still does it! they are thin walled headers and as such heat up quickly but you will notice they cool very quickly too! as Maz said tis normal, dont worry.

When I had the CR ticking over I thought that the red rear spring looked very close to the head then realised it was the rear exhaust glowing Glad to hear it's not unusual.

No Tom Jones jokes please
