Do Flames Shoot From An Exhaust Leak?
I have one around my header, and I need to get to a store to buy bolts to fix this. Will it shoot flames from around the flange, possibly causing a fire in the engine bay? I really need to drive tomorrow, so could I have a problem?????

Just shift like a normal person in a normal car, around 3.5 or 4k. You'll be fine.

Oh man don't let it decelerate to much or shift down to quick, just mash the gas cause you can blow one that way cause I did. I wouldn't worry about the fire and stuff however get it fixed asap

Yeah? But I drove it a short distance Saturday, and never really saw flames. I was just checking.

My exhaust holes shoot flames, too. Try driving with all your windows open, with a scuba oxygen supply strapped to your face.

Good call. Although, this is much cheaper than weed. However, I'm sure this is still illegal!!
