Shooting Flames
 
Ok, so my car has the speedcircuit test pipe, and the buschur quiet exhaust (magnaflow) muffler and every time i get on it and let off I shoot flames out the back. Usually a good 12 inch flame according to people that follow me. Is this normal or should i be concerned? I just dont want to keep doing damage and i feel like i should get it looked at. Any thoughts on the issue? Is it because i have no cat that it shoots flames or just running too rich?

Just to be clear: (list of performance mods)

buschur quiet exhaust
Speedcircuit test pipe (catless)

Even at 11.5 AFR's I still belch out a nice flame front depending on how I jump off the throttle between shifts. It's quite a light show at night, just not something you want to be practising around law enforcement. :lol:

Is it the test pipe that allows the flame to reach the exhaust tips? It seems like a cat would stop the flame from progressing further down the exhaust.

2 days after putting on a test pipe I was in front of a 350z. Later, he gets beside me with a thumbs up hollaring over that I shot flames. I couln't wipe the grin off of my face the rest of the evening. Best thing to do is to get a wideband, tactrix op2 cable and evo scan to log your car any time your concerned

I love the flames, I do it on purpose sometimes. just stomp the gas, let off then tap the gas again and you'll hear the pop* that sound means you spit a flame!:mitsu:

I haven't seen or heard of any flames spitting out the back yet, but i just put on my test pipe yesterday, and it has been popping every once in a while, so maybe that means i shoot flames too! that would be awesome!
