Does anyone know how to get a flame popping out of the exhaust after youve put on a straight through system on?

Full de-cat and a Vent to Atmosphere Dump Valve appears to be a good way to start!

What I have done - and it costs pence - is:-

Buy 5 of those disposable lighters from the market for £1

Strap them round the tailpipe with cable ties

Run a piece of thread from the wheel of one lighter, pass this thread through the levers on ALL the other lighters which releases the gas when pulled.

Position the thread in a suitable position on the accelerator

Then when the accelerator is released it pulls the thread, sparks one of the lighters and ignites the gas escaping from ALL lighters - it is excellent, last for about 24 hours and only costs £1 to refil - EXCELLENT!!

Use gold alloys and you'll get flames, whether its the type of flame you're thinking of is still in debate...

Katana - the Gold Wheels just dont reflect the flames like Silver Wheels ...................... thats why I dont have them, oh NO I forgot, its because they are for Girlies

Anyway, lets not hijack a thread with a wheel debate - woofy asked for flames , my original answer was top class and costs about 150 pennies to set up and after that its 100 pennies per refil .......... thats my PPP mod ( Petes Poxy Poppers )

Pete,
Thought there would still be 240 pennies in your pound.

Best way for flames and pops. Exhaust without cat (only pipe), dumpvalve and small amount of fuel + hard cornering. When the car with full throttle gets fuel again I make 2 meters flames :-)
