Can an automatic FC shoot flames?

Hey I just recently got an FC and was wondering if you can make it shoot flames? My broth err r has an FC as well but his is manual and back fires. Is it possible for an automatic to back fire as well???

why, because some people like form over function. Shooting flames is just cool, lol. Yes, automatics can shoot flames but id imagin not as often since pops usually happen on deceleration. In an automatics case, it wont decel at high rpm. Instead it will change gear. Anyways, stock fc's dont shoot flames. First you need to remove the catalitic converter. Usually this can be done with a aftermarket exaust, but if you're nifty with a welder, might as well just create your own mid pipe goodluck brapping in the auto.

If you remove the catalytic converters and richen the mixture I suppose it would be possible, though, would not produce anything spectacular.
