Of course you will.........just like this:




I think it depends on how rich you are running.

if you are stock, the factory tune is pretty rich so you may or may not shoot flames.

I often hear a pop when I shift, almost every time I really get on it. This started after I got my e-85 tune. I can only assume I'm shooting flames.

I would assume if you're running that rich with a cat, your cat wont last much longer
