Tune will help, I am pretty much used to it now but it doesn't happen all the time.

I took my test pipe off do to the back firing and flames. Not what I'm going for as a DD. I will save the TP for track days.

Shooting flames is fun for the whole family!

My car used to shoot flames once and a while when I lived in CA. Now that I live at a much higher altitude, the flames are rare now.

I'm stock, but I'd just love to shoot flames and soot at some of the jackasses that ride my bumper down the highway or stop an inch behind me at a light.

Im running ams tp and cat back single. I backfire constantly. Shifting from 2nd to 3rd i say 90% of the time. Happens shifting from 1st to 2nd but i saw under 40% of the time. My gf or friends drive behind me a lot and i never shot out flames before. I am actually suprised since how often i backfire. Its loud enough where I am outside my development and my friend would text me i just heard your backfire(needless to say atleast 15 houses away). It is something you get used to. At first I was scared that something has to be wrong but really the x's run rich to begin with and throwing on a exhaust, let alone a tp you just asking for backfire without a tune. Hopefully I am getting tuned by Ivey in the spring, fingers are crossed.

I have a AMS Widemouth DP, ETS Test Pipe and a TurboXS CBE and I never shoot flames or hear any popping noises. I do have a tune though.
