If i remove the ratsnest will my car backfire. I want to remove it but if my car is gonna backfire like crazy i won't. Since all of the selenoids prevent it from backfiring to my understanding i woulfd think it would backfire like crazy if i removed all the emissions.

 

It shouldn't backfire any more than it did before you take all the emissions off. My SA has no real emissions controls to speak of and doesn't backfire at all.

 

Same here, just some light backfire on deceleration. Actually less backfire than with emissions crap. Plus, I can now easily remove the carb.

 

heh, i would be more worried if my car didn't backfire a little....

 

Mine has a backfire and fireball that would light up gotham city!

 

ok i bought an 83 rx-7 gsl. i got it for $100 but only casue i am friends with the guy that sold it to me. there are some things wrong with it but im not sure what yet. it backfires occationally when i rev it. and when i accellerate at a fast rate. any clues on what is wrong? and how i can fix it?

 

I just removed the rats nest on mine and I am running RB exhaust from headers to muffler and it doesn't backfire any more than it did to start with. The only time it backfires is if i decelerate quickly from a high rpm.

 

I custom modded a ACV blockoff plate, no more muffler ripping backfires

 

I took mine off a couple of months ago and havent had any more backfiring than it did originally either
