Sounds like one or more of your ignition coil packs went bad or wasn't
fully connected. In that case the unburned fuel in the cylinder/s not
firing collects in the exhaust manifold and burns there making the
manifold glow red hot.

Replace coil pack or two and it should be fine. They are $30 each and
easy to change. Do not drive without fixing first. It can damage a
number of things including the catalytic converter/s. If you think the
dealer will handle it be sure to flat bed it to them.
