So i was looking at some flame kits for my RX8 and they look pretty cool, The only thing that worries me is that it says i mite have to take off my catalytic converter. I dont really want to do that, Does anyone know if im definitely going to have to or can i just install it with it on? I know the rotary shoots flames already naturally with the right exhaust+midpipe and i would love that but i dont have that kind of money right now

 

oh dear god...how gay is a flame kit...

"check out my flamez yo!!!"

 

 

Pretty gay but im the one that has to live with it, So can you offer me any help besides telling me not to get it? all i need to know is if i have to take off my cat

 

That pic actually looks pretty cool

 

you dont have to live with it if you dont put the freaking kit on ruining your car.

 

only in a movie.

 

some of us live our lives one movie at a time.

 

or you mean some of us live their lives one quarter mile at a time?

 

That's the only thing you need to do.

 

for flames:
-remove cat, rev, repeat
-post about a flame kit

 

like everyone says...JUST DRILL A HOLE IN UR EXHAUST AND PUT A SPARK PLUG IN IT...YOULL BE GOOD!

 

why are you bothering with this?, just get a 200$ midpipe, maybe even cheaper if its used and you'll get naturally occurring flames out of your exhaust. The EGT in the 8 is already pretty hot, I wouldn't suggets helping it get any hotter, you'll ruin your exhaust. Possibly causing you to have to buy a new exhaust which will probably be very expensive.

If you're REALLY short on cash then just gut out your cat, its gonna clog up anyways (eventually) and ITS FREE, and you'll get flames.

 

Thank you, I could just buy a midpipe and install it on my stock exhaust? I wont harm anything

 

yes bro.

 

BHR midpipe, no flame kit

 

Word yo. Word.

Although it really isn't good for your engine to just sit there and rev it up to get flames over and over agian.

I can't believe this is a serious question....

 

**** flame kits...

Who needs a flame kit??

 

so cal dyno days, also known as "who needs to bring a bbq?"

 

Why do you need open flames? The bacon comes out already cooked when you press the button.

The midpipe vids above are epic.

 

looks like your running very rich in deceleration. Decel enleanment wouldn't hurt.... would probably save you some gas and well.... the paint would appreciate it

 

Flames = unburnt gas in exhaust getting lit off as it gets the 3rd needed component for fire...air.

Unburnt gas in exhaust = running too rich, wasting gas and power

Cat present in exhaust stream = unburnt gas getting neutralized, still wasting power, restricting flow, only now no flames.

Flame kit = retarded on cars that don't have the EGTs to light off the gas naturally, facepalmingly retarded on cars that do. Any rotary for example.





Clear enough?

 

I do drag races watching 2 Fast 2 Furious. I never keep my eyes on the road.

 

a properly tuned 8 will shoot flames with no cat. Now there is a tune that Jeff made named Flamey McFlamerton.. but I digress.

 

Does it come with replacement exhaust shrouds and a new rear bumper?
