An exhaust leak will not cause the headers to get hot like that.
One of two things is happening. Your running super lean. This will sky rocket your exhaust gas temperatures.
Or you have plugged cats. Have you done anything else to the car recently?

When you say intake, do you mean intake manifold or cold air intake? Potentially a vacuum leak on the intake side causing too much unmetered air in, causing a lean condition

Check to make sure your maf sensor is plugged in and clean. Male sure all hose clamps are tight and everything seats as it should.
Check your o2 sensors and make sure they are plugged in.
Check vaccum hoses for any cracks or leaks
In the end, still sounds like clogged cats

If you changed intake make sure your vacume lines are ran correctly and o2 sensors not plugged in will not make it run lean it would make it run rich if vacume lines are ran correctly then cats are clogged or fuel pump is going out

Are you throwing a check engine light?

O2 sensors are good and tight and fuel pump is good. What is the hose that plugs into the middle of the h pipe . I think it goes up to egr or something

your motor is running lean period. maybe a intake leak, maybe new bad o2,s, revving it will not help. if u cant find anything unplug the commuter and reset it and see what happens, if u think the exaust is plugged , take out th eo2s and run them out them and see whats happens then.

ive changed the o2 sensors and their good. Ill recheck the intake and see if theirs anything wrong. ive reset the computer, but ill do it again. but if i take out the o2 sensors then that should let the exhaust out more and keep the headers from getting overheated??? cus theres lots of exhaust coming out of the tailpipes....

Glowing headers are definitely not normal. Do you have a fuel pressure regulator and what is your timing set at? If its not the h-pipe with clogged cats then like I said it is either running lean or your timing is off or both.

i put on a different h pipe. the car was running great with the x pipe on. i took it off to get the car smogged. but i cant find a h pipe that isnt clogged. i didnt mess with the timing or the fuel pressure regulator, the only two things i did was change the cold air intake back to the stock setup and change out the o/r x pipe for two different stock h pipes. the first one made one side glow and i put the other one on and it made both sides glow, so im sure if i put the x pipe back on everything will b fine, cus it was running great with no issues before i took off the x pipe, so i will put back on the x pipe to confirm, i just havent done it yet cus its so hard for me. i have no lift...i have to jack it up and get under it. man i just wanna get this darn car smogged. so PLEASE ANYONE WITH A STOCK H PIPE THAT THEY KNOW IS GOOD, CAN I PLEASE BORROW IT TO SMOG AND ILL GIVE IT BACK. IM WILLING TO PAY

just because you didn't mess worth the toning doesn't automatically mean that someone else didn't. check the timing. check your fuel pressure. I've also seen headers glow when the engine is running too RICH.
