I believe it should only pop flames if ur over fueling and petrol is coming out of the exhaust which is ignited with the heat or a spark plug (aka a flamer kit). :cheesy:


My Sierra which has standard exhaust has shot flames over 3 foot in length.

9 out of 10 times a car would need a full stainless steel exhaust system to shoot flames as it heats up a great deal more to a point of glowing red and if overfueling it will shoot flames.

Hoping to get thescooby in for a full s/steel system from th eturbo back with a snakehead manifold shoul dhopefully shoot flames then cos it pops now and still has both cats on 8)
