how do you shoot flames out your exhaust pipe?

can it only be done using borla exhaust?

does it hurt the car in any way?





also..im stupid. how do you change your signature on the bottom.

 

As long as you have a cat and a chambered muffler, the odds of you shooting flames is almost zero. At the very least the cat needs to go.

At the top of the page click on user/cp. Then go to edit profile. Scroll down to signature and type in what you want.

 

Even stock the car does flame.
With an full exhaust it does it a lot more.
I saw it just tonight as I wnt for some road test runs with Broker73, and we were following each other on a back road doing hard runs. On his you just get little blueish short pops. On mine, with the midpipe and Greddy SP2 it is quite a bit more spectacular.

 

That's cool. I could never get flames on my RX-7's unless the cat was removed. When I did they were several feet long!

 

rotarygod,

If you run the car hard for at least five minutes it is actually pretty easy to get some sizable flames from the exhaust. Check it out if you don't believe me.

Flaming exhaust video

 

THATS AWESOME!!! are you still running a cat or do you have a midpipe???

 

The only thing that had been added at that time was a Borla exhaust.

 

speedracer,

ive been wanting to ask somebody with this kit installed. is the exhaust resonance high in the interior or not i have heard way to many mixed opinions. please set this straight for me.

thanx

 

speed racers video is a classic...he is one of the first if not the first on this forum to really capture flames poppin out of the ***..

 

Zoom Zoom BOOM!

 

OBryanRX8,

Borla worked hard to minimize the exhaust resonances found in most aftermarket exhausts and they are slight to non-existant. I think that you would only notice it if you were specifically listening for it.

The Borla provides a tone that is easy to live with on your daily commute (just slightly loader than stock while cruising). Yet it still has a nice growl under full throttle that puts a grin on your face. So I would highly recommend it and the Racing Beat should be very similar in that respect too.

 

Borla is AMAZIN! i've had mine for a few months now... i dont know any1 who duznt like it (n' the flames make grlz crazy!)

 

[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.

 

...or install spark plugs in the tailpipe. :D

 

Hey, that's cheating! :p

 

ive heard about doing that, but dont know how! could you explain the spark plug thing? like how to hook it up?

 

and why is it that rotary engines like to shoot flames and not ...say a honda civic?

 

A rotary it very similar to a 2 stroke engine. The RENESIS runs rich so there is unburned fuel in the exhaust. The fuel ignites on the hot exhaust tips causing the flame.

 

This is a retarded question I know. But out of sheer curiosity...

Can the ATX shoot flames with any aftermarket exhaust / FI / extended redline? Or is it something specific to the nature of MTX?

 

So could a turbocharged RX-8 still shoot flames considering that the turbo runs off of the exhaust?

 

yes it can

 

when you shoot flames as a by-product of driving your car that's cool

when you go out and look for ways just to shoot flame that's fail

 

No a turbo'd RX8 will implode in a burst of fire abruptly being sucked inward like a black hole. It's quite unfortunate.

 

HAHAHAH SO TRUE

I only got flames when I am on the track...and everyone saw it EXCEPT ME since I am in the fcking CAR
