Exhaust flames

I was wondering how to make an L99 shoot flames lmao. I’ve talked to another guy who shot flames and he said he just took out his cats - any tips?

You're in California. They will arrest you for even thinking about that.

^^^^ What he said

Catless can cause a car to have some flames shoot coming off of a higher throttle.

Not sure if just removing cats alone will do it but im sure its necessary (at the minimum) in order to allow that to happen

think of it sort of like when they remove the spark arrestor from a quad

Real flames are a real old school mod where you shoot flames out the tail pipe from installing a pair of spark plugs in the exhaust tips and making the car ignition timing off for bit to put out extra gas.... then you hit the switch....LOL But yes shooting flame balls out the exhaust has been reported from varied cars with the fuel cut off tuned...……. and rich tunes on some cars but usually its with just the right exhaust to not interrupt the flow and the excess putting on a light show at the cut off ...down shift, etc...

Kind of like designing it for exhaust burble only more than just Decel popping as you want it further down the pipe.


Old school you would have a couple coils under the trunk and couple plugs tapped in to the tips with spark plug wires from the coils and a toggle switch up in the cab of course ..LOL and a switch to interrupt the ignition...LOL just enough...you can see it in classic films like American graffiti ………..


Yup theres some crazy stuff out there...ENJOY;

more than one way to skin a cat...LOL And yes the Theatre of the absurd......LOL And then of course there are race cars with like NITRO METHANE EXHAUST COMING STRAIGHT OUT HEADERS...……

I Like the SMOKE RINGS OF FIRE in this one...LOL
