A flame shot from half the length of your car (under the seats where the exhaust ends) out the back, burned the pants off your friend, and then you laughed at them while they where mad?

I'll never believe it went down like that.

Yeah, unless you just took off the muffler, and the pipes were still going all the way back to where the muffler once was, I'm calling BS on this one too.

Maybe not the whole story?

I dont think his friend was wearing any pants to start with when he was standing behind him and that raises another question!

come on guys stop bein such downers.....
i dont belive that his pants burnt off
but they probaly went black from the carbon. but unless they were a plastic material then she would melt to his legs ahhhhh



but oh i see you only had 2feet of pipe off the header i doubt flames will reach the end of the car iv only seen flames up to 1foot or lil longer
unless your pipe was out the side of the car.....
untill we see pics
please dont tell tall storys when they dont add up at least put more thought into tall storys

when my 12a streetport was running rich, and i was running headers, no presilencers, and a supertrapp with no end discs. road course track only. in addition to waking the dead, it shot 3 foot flames out the pipe when i let off the gas and hit the brakes. some people did not want to follow close behind me cause of it.

no one's pants got burned though

Not to doubt, but I like to see proof some days. I want to see a pick of the exhaust cut, with flames, and a pic of the pants. 3' flames are not unheard of, not easy to do though.
