Timing.

Retarded Timing causes your car to run leaner which results in this condition - it also leads to extreme exhaust temp increases -

Check your base timing, check your plugs and check your injectors and fuel pump

like everyone has already said....timing

see if the ecu is throwing any codes (i'm thinking knock sensor)

if there are no codes then it's probably your base timing

but if the knock sensor is faulty then it's gonna pull timing and make for some hot fucking ehaust gases. I had this problem with my RB. Bad knock sensor. I never saw my headers glowing, but i'm sure they were. It melted the paint in my freshly repainted engine bay cuz it was so hot near the turbo
