Exhaust System Inspection

I would like to thank everyone for their input, it really helps. When my cat glowed red hot it was not under normal conditions. The engine was being revved for a long period without the car moving (thus no air circulation). I have been keeping an eye on it and even after a hard drive it does not glow red, so I am assuming its in working order. My engine runs really great, in fact people comment on how good it sounds. Question to SupraMan in Jersey. With the header, performance cat and 2 1/2 exhaust, can you pass the emissions test? I have been doing regular oil changes and just did a tune-up (plugs, wires, air-filter, gas-filter, distributor) so I shouldn't have a problem there, but these exhaust tests scare me, as the last time (previous car) they tried to fail me until I showed the supervisor a two week old receipt for a completely new exhast system from Meineke. Anyway, thanks guys (and gals).
