Hey Jet! I'd love to see a video too? Did you notice any flames when we were tuning on the dyno? Not sure if you noticed on your AF chart, but we intentionally richened up your AF just moments before redline. Although we did this in the name of safety, it also improves your chances of shooting flames...especially if you happen to kiss the rev limiter.

There is a cool video of a dyno run of a Z w/ flames coming out on APS's website. Click on the dyno run w/ test pipes.

I did too...and it's actually on video. Not huge flames, but you can definitely see them. I've been told my car does it on occasion with the turbos too.

Hey guys coming from the TT RX7 world flames are normal for those cars. Mine would shoot a good 4-5 foot long flame when upshifting, till I adjusted the ECU to stop it.

All that being said, all you need is for a cop to see it once even during casual driving and they WILL pull you over and do whatever they can to ticket you and impound your car for illegal modifications. Trust me, a friend got his chain yanked HARD by the Po Po for a not very impressive backfire when pulling away from a light. Cops know that is a DEAD GIVEAWAY that the car is at the very least not running cats and possibly having a ton of work done. JUST FYI and be carefull.
