My car will shoot fire after a couple long 3rd and 4th gear pulls. I don't get the loud bangs but after I let off the flames will linger there for a few seconds. Since I can't hear it, the only way I usually see it is if it's at night. Looks like light made from someone using their blinker to change lanes in my blind side. Caught me off guard at first. I thought someone was about to change lanes right into my car. >_< and it looks soot on my bumper that I have to clean up after...

I have GOT to hold the title for LOUDEST backfire in the world. Forget flames...we are talking like Japan attacking Pearl Harbor type explosions coming from beneath my car (open-cutout after DP). I'm running all 3", no cat/resonator, ported turbo elbow, 3" DP, and ugh...It's just stupid how loud and big the explosion is from under my car...I LOVE IT. :love:
lol, um, you shoulda heard mine w/ open ddp (just the dp chillin there) :nono: jesus christ... had a cop yell at me for that one :-/ (he was away from his car, and couldn't do anything else)... i figure he prolly woulda shot at me, had i given him any more time to think of a reason

backfiring sucks. it makes your car sound like a piece of crap. throw dead animals at people if you want to scare them on the streets.

I always thought this happened because decent rev limiters work by cutting ignition. So you blast out your fuel/air mix directly into the exhaust and when the next cycle fires, you get hot exhaust gasses that ignite the previous mixture.

Am I wrong?

Come on, Post up your videos/audio of your cars backfiring/throughing a flame.

And I agree with you Shaeff. When my car used to back fire it was kind of funny at first. but it gets kind of embarrassing. Makes people think you drive this POS and have no idea what your doing around a car.

I know I have some video of my car backfiring/throughing a flame when I JUST got it up and running for the first time.
*timing was all jacked*

I come from a land down under
My Z with the Twin Turbo Toyota V8 had dual 4" sidepipe that at first were pretty well straight out with a couple of basic baffles in em, being short and big on overrun it would flame a lot!

On a dark road it would light up each side of the road for 50 feet or so and once I had a friend in the car and as we passed a cyclist so I made sure his legs were hairless ;)
