Default Hot hot heat

May be a dumb question, but i looked at my exhaust manifold after i'd been driving for a little while, and it was glowing what seemed like a worrying amount. The exhaust turbine housing was also glowing. Is this normal? I had been going quite fast, and i know that when cars are on dynos they tend to glow.
Thanks
Giles
