Someone told me it could be done by removing the Catalyic Converter and replacing it with a straight pipe, is there any other ways?



Thanks

just don't try to do it by sitting still and reving the **** out of your car. It's terrible on the motor.



any time your exhaust is hot enough and you are tuned rich when you let off the gas the next couple power strokes will be super rich and the hot exhaust internals will ignite the mixture when it recieves oxygen again (out the tailpipe)



If that is a concern when tuning then...... wwoooooooooosssssssssaaaaaaaaaa................... ..............................

............woooooooossssssssssaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



K i feel better....



it would not be smart to force yoru car to do that

You need an aftermarket EMS, and a midpipe.

ditching emissions crap will allow you to shoot flames.



The harder you try to shoot flames, the less they will happen.



Do you have aftermarket engine management? If you do you can change a few settings to allow you to shoot flames, but i'm not going to waste my time if you don't.

Tube a bit rich, get a DP, MP, and cat-back. BOOM
