running rich is better than lean... too much fuel means you'll make less power, get worse MPG and chuck out more pollution, but running lean can cause det which can do nasty things like melt pistons. 
It's more likely to pop (and maybe even flame) if the exhaust has been de-catted.... and that's what I'm hoping when I get my decat fitted next week!

Must admit mine was popping and banging like a b astard the other morning on the way to Oulton, partly because of Bobs map and partly down to two bottles of OB. Mine has no cats whatsoever, which, as pointed out above, does help. Throws rather a lot of flames too.

One of my mates had the same problem. Think the garage fitted a std ecu to get the right figures then changed back to his 'chipped' one. Think there was a thread on it a few weeks back. Might be in the Scotland section.

There's one in the downpipe and one in the centre. The downpipe cat is the big one and so if that's been removed then there's still a chance it will fail the MOT even with the centre one still there.
