Interesting, were you crusing or stepping on it when they observed the exhaust "glow"?

That's normal when you're running the car hard.

Don't sweat it, the entire header and turbo will glow bright red when you're really on it. Most likely a much lesser extent, but you get the idea.

it is really cool to see a turbo engine on an engine dyno, if you turn off the lights you can really see it glow brighter as the rpm's climb.
