A cat exhaust system will prevent you getting flames until you finally trash the cats anyway, but watchout for the up-pipe cat going through the turbine as it doesn't do it any good!

As said, you need to de-cat and fit a VTA dump valve. Also helps if you're in gear with the clutch pushed down, if trying to flame at a stand still.HTH


not yet mapped

P.S. Trails, I'm not gay

sorry you will have to help me out; I think you mean meant...not sure what 'ment' means?

its always a good idea to check your spelling if you are going to 'try' and diss someone...otherwise it makes you an easy target

At the risk of getting my head ripped off here I have to say................................. Grow up!!!!!!

Why on earth would you want ridiculous flames coming out of the back of your car.....it shouts i'm a chav / kev / idiot

It's dissapointing that Scooby's have become cheap enough for boy racers to get their hands on.gives us all a bad name!

Not going to rip your head off, this is your opinion.

The "ridiculous flames" are purely for a laugh and for show use only.

Think I'm a bit old to be a boy racer, mid-life crisis, yes maybe, but there's nothing wrong with having fun, at any age.




BTW finalzero, this is how it's really done...

I have to agree with trials and P1SCOOB that flamers in my opinion should only be found on Corsa's and Saxo's only along with Lexus/snake eye lights, neons and led washer jets.

But everybody to there own.
