Exhaust gasses are very hot! It's normal for the exhaust manifold to be very, very hot when the engine is running. If it is hot to the point that the exhaust manifold is glowing red or orange, that's a problem. Otherwise it sounds normal. Hope that helps! Jim
Over heated ex manifold will also occur when the ignition timing is very retarded,,,,
