Default Spitting flames

This may be a sad question, but now I've got the decat downpipe, I'm popping etc! Because I can't see the back of the car, when it pops is it spitting flames?

How could you tell being the driver, whether or not you were spitting flames and how can you increase theses chances?

Would be nice to shock some drivers behind me when they get too close.

Wait until you are in front of a cop car, boot it and see if you get pulled over - you can ask him then

go down some country lanes (plenty of hedges and cover etc) when its pitch black and get it to pop. If its doing any decent flames then you will see a flash of light, may also be able to have cooked rabbit for supper as well!

ignoring the pi$$ takers and those too cool for school; more than likely it is, they won't be very large, imagine a smallish Bunsen burner type flame that doesn’t burn too long.

get someone to follow you at twilight once the 'zorst has warmed up...camera phones can actually be useful.

LOL let's be honest it IS cool to have flames coming out of your exhaust, I don't care what anyone pretends. It's just not very fuel efficient and a little too showy for the very mature crowd on Scoobynet.

Why don't you get one of those reversing mirrors on a stalk like every imported Toyota Hiace has over the back window?
