If someone came out with 02 simulators that would be perfect. Of course from a tuning standpoint it might not be the most satisfactory solution but the name of the post is "How to shoot flames" and a straight pipe with 02 sims would get the job done w/out the CEL coming on.
EDIT: Christer would you lay off already. I thought msindi's NOS post was absolutely ridiculous too but it's not like he joined this forum to read about stuff he already knows. Let the guy learn, that's what rennlist is for.

Wilber has yet to receive CEL on his 996TT after almost 10K miles. He has also installed straight pipes on an '03 C4S, no CEL, and our buddy in a Boxster S installed one also with no CEL.
So far so good.

msindi,
Wilber's entire exhaust system, including his straight pipes and Formula Atlantic-based mufflers were all custom made to connect with his twin Garrett turbos.
BTW, did you get my message from the other day?

msindi,
In about two weeks time (July 3) the <a href="http://www.summernationals.com/" target="_blank">New England Summer Nationals</a> car show is taking place in Worcester about 40 minutes west of you. You need to come and watch the burnout and flame throwing contests. And bring your Porsche, all the other Porsches in the city always seem to mysteriously disappear that weekend.
