Everything is fire retardant, the fact that it never flared up fast shows this, and its likely the radiant heat from the exhaust, especially if its got a cat, that's set fire to the wiring under the dash display thing.

Dont know but that tail pipe was glowing red most of the way around, i would have thaught that he would have had a plumbed in extinguisher system? I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

the reason they glow red now is because the cat is usually right at the back of the system so its less restrictive, so the glow is just the cat as they run that hot to work |

Just to display my obvious ignorance; does a cat get hotter than a 'normal' exhaust? The internals most definately do, they get VERY hot as the "catalyst" is essentially inducing further combustion of the un-burnt bits of the exhaust gas. The outside will be down to how well it's designed (insulation, heat shields etc.) and manufacturers cut corners :) Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ??? |

Not sure if the rally cross cars are anything like the Fiesta world rally cars but they have the cats just before the back box David. |
