Hey all, I've got an '88 turbo 2 and I'm finally going to start modding the power side of it. I was wondering, if I were to strap on a racing beat turbo back, would I shoot flames? I ask because I don't want to shoot flames (at all) as being in california I'd like to draw as little attention to emissions as possible, if I will shoot flames with the RB system is there any way to remedy that short of strapping a cat in? Thanks.

if youm don't put on a down pipe leaveing on the pre cat you shouldn't

 

Hi, my little bro is usning my exahust right now. WHIch is just a straight pipe from the manifold, he's also got a K&N filter, but his doesn't shoot flames (From an NA motor). When I put this exhaust back on my car, TII that is streetported, will I get flames ya think? I live in CA and I hope I do!

 

Im pretty sure you will get flames every now and then. I get flames from just driving regular all the time just look at my avatar.

 

If you have any sort of catalytic converter on the car, it won't spit fire. My advice would be a downpipe, a hi-flow cat, and the cat back. You'll be fine with a quieter, flame-free exhaust, that won't be robbing you of too much power. =)

P.S. It helps the environment too!

 

If you take out the main cat, you WILL shoot flames mostly during 3rd gear redlining.

If you get an atmospheric BOV, then the chances of shooting flames are even greater. but yes..as said above, if you have a main cat on the car you wont shoot no flames

 

If you get a timming controller and a fuel controller you can tune it to make more power, which will also prevent you from shooting flames... Or you can just turn down your boost a bit and advance the timming on the CAS. Shooting flames are caused by the ECU retarding the timming to far when you let off the throttle which basically sprays fuel into the exhaust.

 

My NA doesnt shoot flames with a straight pipe from the manifold back, but then again I think I have a couple exhaust leaks
