A leaking manifold gasket won't make your exhaust glow much hotter. It will make it louder and leak exhaust gas under the hood, which could be vented into the car (not good).

Relieving the backpressure with the downpipe and catback should do the trick, as far as lowering the temperature. And it is normal for turbo manifolds to glow after a hard drive ;)

Ya it will leak with exhaust stud missing I just did it on my new Viggen had to pull the head and drill it out then put a heli-coil in it. real pain....160.00 bucks to put the head back on with new bolts new gaskets and i decided I might as well put a timing chain in.
