flame out the exaust?
ok, we have all seen it but i want to know why it happens and how i can do it to my z. a guy raced me in a z and every time he shifted he had alil bit of flame come out of the exaust. it was awesome, i know its not the stupid spark plug in the cat thing, im not going all ricer. but i thought it was pretty cool. i have a injen ses true dual exaust, anyone have any idea? a freind said he might have just ran his car rich

The "flame thrower" effect is done by cutting the power to your spark plugs so the unburnt gas flows out thru the exhaust then the spark plug in your tail pipe ignites the gas vapor causing the flame.
It won't work on cars with catalytic convertors like the Z unless you remove them.
Oh, prepare to get flamed (no pun intended) for suggesting doing it to your Z.

i think that most of the people that do have flames coming out of their exhaust werent aiming just to do that, its more of a thing that happens cause it happens, not a thing that happens cause i want it to happen.

Ok well i once had a rx7 and this happends when ever your reving the motor and let off the gas and then all the extra gas that did not burn off reaches the end of the exhause it creats a flame...and a very loud "bang"....
if you run enough gas then any one can do it.....

get alot of breathing mods for absolute non air constriction. Get headers, testpipes, exhaust, cams, spacer, etc. I used to shoot flames when i had straight flowing test pipes but it was too loud/ricey and so i decided to buy HFC.
