ok so I have a 88 SE and I whould like to know why im shooting flames out of my exhaust. I just put a new K&N high flow air filter in the stock air box, and my exhaust system is just a 2 inch from the stock manifold down to a resinator back to a Y pipe then to two magnaflow mufflers. and the exhaust system is about 2 years old and was not shooting out flames as much as now. and I only have to go to about 6 thousand rpm's to shoot flames. The reason that im asking this is because I would like to keep my mufflers insted of melting the stuff inside

 

check your timing.

 

yeah I would check the timing like was said. You have a decent amount of unburned fuel entering the exhaust and it is ignigting in the exhaust that is why you are shooting the flames.

 

Timing doesn't just change unless someone has moved the CAS.

Is all the emissions equipment (obviously excluding the cats) installed? When is the last time the car got a tune up?

 

Someone say flames?

it has all of the emissions equipment and it had a tune up just the other month.

 

Including the air pump?

 

yes even that, but in a few months I plan to remove it.

 

then you'll shoot even more flames

I'm fairly sure you can shoot flames even bone stock in a 7. never tested it since I've never owned a stock running one tho...

 

I've shot flames but having a rich mixture and removed the main cat.

 

so default fuel with a test pipe.


i would shoot flames, with a fully uncorked exhaust. but i had to wait for it to heat up good and hot. it wouldnt do it when cold.

 

Why wouldn't you want to shoot flames out the exhaust? Rich 7's ftw!

 

whats wrong with flames there fun when *** holes get on ur ***

(good times)

 

Test the anti-afterburn valve.
