Yes, I know how EGR controls NOX. I'm not arguing this with you.

No, I don't have a guess, from your description. I've seen a lean fuel mixtuer cause
high exhaust temps and glowing exhaust. I'm not saying that a restricted exhaust will
always cause overheating.
What I have seen is exhaust manifolds glowing bright orange in broad daylight due to
exhaust restriction, along with (to the driver) a sharp increase in cooling system
temperature.
The most vivid recollection was on a 1966 FE (428 cid) powered motor home.(the first
case I ever saw). The H pipe was of a triple wall design and the inner "wall"
collapsed, mostly plugging the exhaust flow. The only noticible concern was
overheating and a slight lack of power. (Along with excessive heat radiating from the
doghouse).
Pick, I'm not disputing your theory, it is the same theory I have been taught for
years. I just know what my eyes have seen and what seemed to be the cause. I won't say
this is common, but i have seen it a few times.

I'm sure you do and I always bow to folks who have more experience and knowledge
than myself. I don't claim to know it all. I don't want to argue with you for just
that reason. I'd like for our conversations to be more reasonable. Maybe we both have
things to teach each other. I'm sure you have experience I can learn from, just please
don't discount mine.
