Fireballs are intimidating as hell, it shows your opponents how bada$$ your evo is when you "smoke" em on the track.

But it wont hurt the mustangs because they will be so far behind.

fireballs are normal, especially with a test pipe. I shoot 2 footers out sometimes when I bounce the rev limiter

I also noticed that my defusser is now slightly melted and cracked, is this common with the new Evo's.

Yeah I'm having this problem to.... The other day Hailey's Comet shot out my rear and lightning bolts keep shooting out my headlights....

lol, you guys are funny, any car without a cat will shoot fireballs, even slow N/A cars. This is because when you remove the cat, all that unspent fuel that dumps into the exhaust at shifts is now no longer caught in the cat and instead is being ignited by the heat of the exhaust. And being that evo's especially evo x's run so damn rich from the factory, go go fireballs lol

It's fine, the one when I'm going throu the light is because I down shifted I think, and the exhaust was pretty warmed up from pulling on the highway. It won't do it as much when I get tuned soon, because it won't be running so rich, then it will only really do it after a bit of WOT or a redline shift.
