Something is very wrong..
Ok last night my friends and i were all driving back to his house after prom and stuff and we were goofing around a bit going a little fast and i was going pretty fast and i heard a small clunk like something fell and then it just started feeling wierd, and everytime i tried to get it over 80 it would just like stutter or i dont know how to explain it, so i just backed off, well i got hoem and both of my exhaust manifolds and the crossover pipe were Glowing bright red, i mean very very hot, i dont know whats wrong? Any ideas?

Under prolonged high load situations, exhaust manifolds will glow. So that could be normal, if maybe a sign of a little exhaust restriction. The clunk I don't know about.

I dont know how it could be a clogged cat i just had a brand new high performance cat put on there, and another thing, recently my cars been doing this wierd thing when i first drive it a few miles its ok when i mash it to the floor it goes, but after a bit it just like bogs down when i hit it, and it makes this wierd noise like i dont know how to explain it, i dont know if its the supercharge or the transmission but its like it sound almost like its going then slowing down then going then slowing down i really have no clue how to explain it.

Drive it for a little while... if it starts to stall out in the wierdest places get a cam shaft position sensor... Sounds alot like what happend to mine a month ago...

160 is just broken in.
TPS sensor, MAF sensor, PCV valve, Clogged cat (coulda been that noise you heard, big chunks of carbon fly out down the mani'* into the cat).'
Lotsa things, and all chepaer then a new engine. Could be tranny related. What'* your tranny fluid look like.

Tranny fluid is all sorts of brown, very bad, and ive got a leak right now so im adding about a quart of fluid every week, getting that fixed monday when i get my check and im putting in this performance fluid so hopefully that helps a bit.
