Backfire with stock mid-pipe?
Will the car backfire with a stock mid-pipe? just wondering, it would be cool to shoot some flames.

a midpipe is usually refered to when the cat is no longer present. Hence you only have a straight through pipe, so there is no stock midpipe.

No you don't shoot flames when your cat is in place.

If you meen the stock cat? Then no, why would you want to shoot flames? Makes you a great target at night for cops.

It won't shoot flames but it is still possible to backfire (popping sounds) if you are running a very rich AFR.
