I just noticed that Speed Racer sent over his movie file. It's a .mov file so make sure you have 'quicktime' to view it. I'm currently uploading it to a location all can see, stay tuned I will post the link in about 5 minutes.

 

Kewl.

Hey, anyone gather any further data on post-install MPG?

 

Okay, here it is courtesy of "Speed Racer".

that's insane! the flames!!

 

Here is another N/A engine car that flames - the whole pack pumps out the flames - cool!



Cheers,
Hymee.

BTW... Sorry - my other love is V8's! These babies put out 620HP from a 5 litre mill.

And I think I like the sound of the exhaust. But I promised not to do mods on my '8

 

That's frickin' wild

 

WOAH! As soon as I recover from the xpel kit I had put on this morning, I'm going to be ordering one...

 

great video I cant belive my eyes

 

Ever notice it doing that at night on a downshift?

Thanks for sharing, great vid!!

 

Does EVERYONE think the flames thing is cool, or is anyone besides me a bit concerned about it? I mean, it is kinda cool, just not sure if I like the idea of driving around a flame thrower. Also kinda worried about burning the flames buring the back of my car. Should the car really be doing this? Does anyone have any ideas on how to mitigate the flames, short of putting the stock exhaust back on?

And BTW, I have yet to see flames from my Borla...

 

Don't worry, it doesn't shoot flames like that unless you really go out of your way to make it happen.

The reciepe to flames is:[list=1][*]Warm up engine[*]Get the exhaust red hot by running the car over 6k RPMs for several minutes[*]Come to a stop or at least keep it under 60 MPH (slower = bigger flames)[*]Rev it hard (WOT) and lift off on the throttle quickly[*]INSTANT FLAMES!!! [/list=1]

As you can see, it is not easy to get flames because the conditions have to be perfect to ignite the unburnt fuel. Likewise I have not seen any damage to the paint or body work on the car but your mileage may vary. :p

If Mazda ever corrects the pig rich fuel map the flames will probably go away for good.

 

It is even noticeable in broad day light. So far I know that it happens if I run the car hard for an extended period of time without any breaks in the action and then lift off of WOT. If I get the exhaust hot enough I can actually get a continuous smolder off both pipes during WOT. It looks just like the small flames at the very end of the video when the car is basically out of the picture.

Today I had a guy who pulled in a little too close behind me. So I decided to see what kind of reaction I would get if I started to shoot flames back at him. Let's just say that he didn't waste anytime putting it in reverse and backing up a few feet!

 

Nice!

 

It does EXACTLY the same with the stock exhaust.
YES, you CAN damage the back end with this:

 

It's almost worth buying it just for that!

 

Thanks SpeedRacer and Canzoomer, I feel better now.

 

Awesome way to get to the tailgaters. Or the ricers who ride your bumper at 80 trying to........well actually i dont know what the hell they are trying to do lol.

that's sharoo! i ordered my Borla last week from John @ socal.. said it would take about 2 1/2 weeks... can't wait... anyone up for SMORES?

 

i keep getting an error code it wont play the movie.I really want to see it to.

 

Uninstall quicktime and go reinstall the latest version, maybe that will help.

 

file cannot be found errors...is it still up brothervoodoo?

 

Install the latest version for Quicktime (available at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/), then download the file. Finally, change the file extension of this movie file (currently .mov) to .QT

 

ditto.

 

Link is dead, any mirrors?

 

Give it another try.
