****, here i was thinking my car shot flames because I feed it taco bell.

We should really add this "flame shooting" thing to the faq, if it's not already there, so we can just start deleting these threads.

Is that what my problem is? RB true dual complete system an i can make it pop nicely but as yet i havent caught the flash of flames in my mirrors. Not that it makes a heap of difference one way or the other but personally i figure if its gonna pop like it does it might as well shoot flames too. its like thunder with no lightning

How are any of you getting such low MPG? I get 25 ish if I beat the car and 28-29 if I drive easy. My car has 194,000 miles on it so the low compression excuse is not valid to me.

(Granted, my commute is mostly highway.)

I wish I could get even close to that. Beating on the car in town I'm lucky to get 15. I got 11 last time I checked. Going easy on her I get 15-16mpg.

S4 n/a 110 compression on both rotors. 116000 miles.

Some people might think having a Front Bumper would be more important than flames coming out of your tailpipe...

Maybe not...

If you are autocrossing, some may think that airflow to the radiator and FMIC is more important than having a front bumper.....

Maybe not...

I have a stand alone ECU
