flames





I said it the other day but tonight i saw my flames myself and altho they are small they are flames. Ive been wanting them soooo much and now i can get them by just reving my car.

Hope you have a decat on your car cause unburnt fuel will kill the cat... flames occur when unburnt fuel is iginited in the exhaust.

why the hell do u want flames? is it to scare tractor drivers as u overtake them? anybody that fits a flamer kit on their car is a tw*t, end of story.

I love when my exhaust pops and sparks out little flames! keeps tailgaters off your back! and it looks cool. (to do it, get high in the revs, and just tap the accelorator pedal) this is how i do it.. and yes you need a decat.
 


mines like a sodding jet engine, the novelty wears off after a while, but like bubbles said its good fro getting people to back off a bit.

I dont seem to have to make mine do it, just does it if i go high through the revs then up a gear, and does it all the time under decelleration

Flamer kits are sad - agreed.

never worked out which are the flames though - I get loud pops and quieter burbles from my pipe and i dont know what its doing each time.

That sounds exactly like mine and i was never sure whether they are actually flames or not. Should get someone to follow me at night to sort it out really. I reckon the burbles sound cool as feck but the pops could be mistaken for a backfire:confused:

I would worry if i was you mate. sounds f**ked.

(either that or a small french mouse is living in you exhaust and sparking up a fag from time to time)

WHAT THE HELL!Flames from a 1.2 16v? You using avgas?

tom mine did, but then again, m cat was screwed, just couldnt be bothered to have it changed under warrantee

only ever happened when i was really gunning for it
 


The amount of fueling varies on driving conditions..so pretty much any car with an unrestricitive exhaust would do it at least occasionally. Wheres the de-cat from..and whats the car actually sound like?

mine dont pop or flame

did have a de-cat then got rid of that and got a straight through system and still no poppin

NOW IN COMES THE REINFORCEMENT

THE K-TEC SIDE EXIT SYSTEM IF IT DONT POP IM JUS AVIN A DOWN PIPE!!!!
 


Without poking fun but didnt you have the (crap) rage exhaust? That isnt necessarily a good flowing exhaust which would prevent the snap crackle and pops..

You definetly will with the side exit as theres no restriction! More BHP too as the exhaust is shorter.

-Rob
 


nope i had a Peco BB2 3" exhuast

i was sellin a 5" rage exhuast for my mate i would never get a 5" bacbox unless i have a scooby or something

side exit should come monday so fingers crossed for poppin
 


on my RT i got a CAT back system, and bloody hell my system dont half got bang when am goin for it, get it up to 5-6k then change gear tap accelerator then floor it get a massive bang but no flame, hopefully that might change once i get my de-cat for xmas and a flamer kit.

tbh flamer kits do look the dogs bollox when u see a cossie goin down the motorway then u see this fookin huge flame hangin out looks mint and it shows pure power.

Humm will i get flames with a 172 and 63mm supersprint(with de-cat) havent fitted it yet :(
Hmmm well I dont get any yet with mine, and mine overfuels (as anyone behind will tell ya, the smell is lovely YUM :) )

But Im gonna have a play with the over-run mapping and see if I cant shovel a load of fuel out at say 4500rpm and see it that lights up ;)

hmmmm i used to get loud ass pops outta my 4.5 in ktec exhaust (no flames that i know of) but i still had the cat. in

altho it only happened when at high revs and tapping the accell pedal

if u fit a butane kit you need a slap.



get a turbo convertion, in 3rd if i floor it, and then let off at 5krpm, i get big flames, when driving along at night on a road with no street lamps, and no cars behind u, u can look in rear view mirror and see the flames, thats with a straight through 2 1/2" system in to a carbon back box, dont really get popping or banging ne more, with my rt i used to be able to get really big bangs, drive in 2nd or 3rd, floor it to 4-5k take foot off accel and stamp on it BOOOM or just tap it for small pops and bangs. but since turbo convertion i dont half as much exhaust noise and hardly any pops, but then i get turbo screem and blitz bov woosh so im happy
