What Creates This Glow?

hl0m4n · 11-24-2009, 06:23 PM

just saw that the evoms headers glow under wot, isn't that not safe for the car is it normal? how much heat is needed to get that hot and where does it come from? looks intense

Those are the headers glowing not the turbos.

Hell yes it can though it depends on the material and its thickness. Exhaust temperature is over 1200 degrees Fahrenheit. That is plenty enough heat to cause steel to glow.

materials glow when they heat up:

TiAg335i · 11-25-2009, 12:49 PM

more power = more heat = more glow

Lol so does that mean if he's going WOT at night, he'll have StreetGlow?

not necessarily. that is caused by friction. the headers are due to combustion.
