TiN TiN Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm after slight spits of flames when changing gear.. Was quite easy to do with previous cars, but does anyone know the best way to do it on a zed? Would a simple decat do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 a few members who have decats unrated exhaust and uprev have managed it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes, but it won't happen on every gear change. It's a bit sporadic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Wouldnt the car need to be running rich to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS8055 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I was told by my mate that I was spitting blue flames from my exhaust when it was blowing from the standard one! Kinda wish I didn't have to change it now, but the Invidia Gemini is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiN TiN Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Can it be done without a remap? Just standard exhaust with a decat pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firemansim Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes! put spark plugs in the exhaust tips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OV53 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Mine is decatted and no.....it pops and bangs like crazy but flame it does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliveBoy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Mine is decatted and DOES pop flames, no remap. It's normally when I'm drifting that it flames though as lots of on and off the throttle gets unburned fuel into the exhaust and the heat of it causes the flame once the fuel reaches oxygen. They're not 3 foot or anything, the only time it's really noticeable was when I was drifting in the dark at matchams the other week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiN TiN Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Any engine management lights or anything from a decat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Mine pops and makes some great noises a fair bit, although no idea if flames are occurring! The spark plug idea has been around some years, although it will mean you melt your rear bumper in a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I have lost count the number of groups of teenagers that ask me to rev the car when they walk past and I am in traffic...I keep replying with 'no, I am too old for all that!' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grundy Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Oh god here we go again I've got Decats Before and After Map. Had no hectic bangs, nothing like I had in a turbo. But then again, I've not had the chance to drive it long distances hard etc, will all come down to the engine being warm, over fueling etc. Guess I'll find out at Combe.

Keyser Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Stick an SC on it that should help with the flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Mine is like a shotgun firing if that helps and most gear changes at high revs will shoot flames. Lol. BERK Decats, Stillen Y-Pipe and Kakimoto exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
