Sorry for the stupid question but......

When I rev my car high a few times in neutral or when I'm driving between 1st and 3rd and I get the RPMs up high and let off the gas without shifting. I get these pops and little flames shooting out the tailpipe. That's backfire right? Bad thing right?

 

no no. this is a good thing, good for scaring ricers and small children. what mods does your car have??

 

Cold air intake(Crooked Willow, kinda ghetto), Down pipe, resonated mid-pipe, Racing Beat cat-back, PFC, 850 primarys, good plugs and wires.....nothing too major.

 

yeah we were revving up a friends car trying to figure out why it smokes and it was shooting baby flames

lol you dont have anything to worry about.



take some pics of the flameage for us!

 

Carefull with midgets lingering around the back of your car though..

 

yeah right dude when my car does those pops, it feels like its gonna die........ anyone else know what could cause this if i excelerate too fast it tends too do this but if i ease it up too red line its fine ???? any answers ????????

 

it is not a bad thing. it is the waste fuel that can not be burned up because there is not cat......

 

flames do no damage to your car!!!

 

My car shoots flame also- after letting off near redline.



Excess fuel just burning up.
