Flames are natural for a rotary since they're very fuel inefficient and lots of unburned gases make it to the tailpipes!

FLAME ON !!!

suuuuuuuuuper loud, but i loveit, its a sound like no other, and since im in florida, screw emissions. When I went to buy the pipes for my straight exhaust, i had it as an open exhaust, and it sounded badder then some tricked out 350. All the big block guys were grinning and smiling, but then i flamed out of the bottom of the car, that was scary, i only had headers on the car. ts a definite head turner. Thanks guys!
