Out of curiosity, I was wondering waht I would need to do to my TT (in terms of mods) to make it shoot flames?? Would flames shoot up on upshifts or downshifts?? Does anyone currently have their TT doing this??

Shooting flames like the Gemballa GTR750? I talked to them....it'll be $150K later.

Just let me know your license plate number so I can be sure to keep my distance!

If you ran a straight exhaust, no cats, no muffler, you could probably do it. I have a friend who drives a fairly quick Camaro SS running straight exhaust, he gets a nice flame coming out the back every now and then. Nothing like the Gemballa though. And if you did go the straight exhaust route, your car would become really loud, but thats good in my opinion. Hot rodders rig up a system were you push a button and get a nice big flame. Like the Mercury in Gone in 60 seconds. I think they use a sparkplug in the exhaust pipe, and spray some type of flamable liquid on it. It ignites just like your car does when its firing a cylinder. Hope that makes sense, i had to type it fairly quick

sahrk - what straight pipes do you have?? Where did you get them and for how much??
Also, will headers help make it easier to flame??

Are you guys really serious? You want flames?

Inside the cabin there's no resonance because there's no resonator There are/were a few videos that I posted a while back....

do you know if i can buy fabspeed's straight pipes with the modular cats but without the exhaust??

FYI, the dealer is modifying my exhaust to bypass the muffler. Will have it back tomorrow. Should be an interesting experiment anyhow.

That should be a cool project mjc, there was a thing on a show called Trucks, i think thats what its called, were they showed how to do this. Post pics if possible.

A well tuned car shouldn't shoot flame from the exhaust.

Usually when tuner can not determine the perfect Air to Fuel ratio, but instead they tuned the car to full rich rather than lean to ensure safety setup. As the result, unburned fuel will left in the exhaust and turn into flame.

I am not sure if stock turbo can shoot flame without modification of the ECU to reprogram A/F mapping.
