unburned fuel causes the converter to glow red. since you just did the exhaust, check into your o2sensor and make 100% sure it's still hooked up.

I wouldn't be driving a vehicle in which the cat is glowing. Your gonna warp the head or the block or worse.

Did you mess with anything else? Cat clogged? Change the timing at all?

When was the last time plugs, wires, cap, rotor were changed? As others have mentioned the most likely cause is unburned fuel. You don't really want to keep driving it till you figure it out or you stand a high chance of melting the internals of the convertor, resulting in a clogged convertor.

you're running wicked rich if the cats glowing. You keep driving rich and the cat will melt and clog and you're gonna be replacing it again.
