Question

I've seen a few mentions of de-catted systems producing flames from the rear box.

I must admit that it sounds pretty cool, but does it cause any internal damage? Also, what exactly is it that provokes them flames? Just call me a born worrier

Ta,

Matt

Unburnt fuel + combustion source = flames

Don't know about the flames, but my full SS decat system does a lovely line in popping and banging with the unburnt fuel

And sounds LUVVERLY too

To achieve flames..

full decat system + atmos dump valve + perf air filter/induction kit = flames (apparently! Nito, care to comment?)

Hi Matt,

I bent one of those wheels in the snow, havent got a spare have you?

I'm told mine does it with just the straight pipe and standard filter, no DV etc changing down for a corner, nearly melted my mates TVR, (well made him pull back a bit )

Cheers

Andy

Flames

Does wonders for tailgaters on the M-ways

SS de-cat + AT BOV + induction kit certainly does produce lovely flames...

Cool

Sorry Andy no, but you can have the space saver if you want

Thanks for the info guys, I'm just running an ITG filter, not induction kit, so sounds like a lot of noise is all I've got to look forward to.

Hi Matt

I've got one of those thanks, but I'd quite like to go at over 50MPH though the fuel savings might make it worth while

Cheers
Andy
