you can take off your air pump after installing the mp and you will still get flames The air pump as nothing to do with the flames.

Usually if your shooting flames your running rich. Unused fuel is what is causing you to shoot flames. So no airpump has nothing really to do with shooting flames.

excess fuel being ignited as it leaves the motor. rich cars do it better. it usually occurs after the release of the accelerator after a WOT push....i do not think that you will see the flames with a gutted cat.....a straight pipe has no restriction.....

I shoot flames outta my FD, and that's with a CB, DP, MP, and the air pump still on. The pump has nothing to do with the flames.
