You would need a full decat, also any mapper can "map" them in using overfuelling

Some of us get proper flames without Anti-Lag or a spark plugs up your bum!

Can mapping the car to pop, bang and spit flames cause any damage?

Glad someone agree's with me. Anti lag and flamer kits is cheating

decat from the turbo down? I got 3" from the turbo down, decat all the way to the Nur Spec R and the car likes to spit out the odd flame or two on hard shifting.

I had pops n bangs added into the map. I've also found since removing it the fuel economy has dropped. So don't think it's overfuelling perse.

It was loud and hardcore though. Pretty much like permanent anti lag system. Say, overrun in 3rd from 3500rpm to 2500rpm it would let out about 8-10 BIG BANGS!

Flames shots are in my scooby.

I actually miss the noise now. Thinking about adding back on for a few months fun.

I was told not. I ran it like that for about 8 months or so.

Bit much in built up areas, you find yourself coasting and changing gears below 2400RPM.

It's amazing how much the distance behind you increases too. No more tailgaters as their front bumper gets a blasting.

Alright Gaz me old Mukka,

Sorry to end your hatrick of posts. So do you still get the odd flames popping out now as you left me which isn't hard I admit. So as I have only a sports cat in the down pipe is it at all possible. I've got the good old Prodive back box with 3" centre section.
