Quick Question about Flames

Hey Guys

Im getting a set of extractors installed, around 2.75inch diameter, a 200 cel hi-flow cat and borla exhaust.

I know that midpipes will create flames, but i have also heard from somewhere that someone mentioned the RP Supercat has been seen shooting flames aswell.

Will this setup shoot flames?

Just abit worried as the law enforcement here is quite strict :P and any emission related infringement = 10k+ fine

Yes, a couple of the guys i know shoot flames with the RP supercat. I have the Exoticspeed hi-flow and it shoots flames as well. For my car, it'll only shoot flames above 7500 rpms and greater and the exhuast is good and hot; mainly when you let off the gas abruptly. Best advise I can give is dont redline it when you dont want to shoot flames 10k fine ftl

not in a sense, but there is very high fines for emission related infringements.
I believe our version of the emission test may be harsher then the ones in the US.

But main thing is that, its best not to draw attention to your exhaust, so was hoping the flames wont be shooting out ^^
