Exaust Flames

Ive seen videos of RX7s shooting flames out of the exausts in motion??? How could this be done??? The video was of an FC on the highway and it shot flames and then took off??

open up the exhaust and run it rich. but no one will get to see the flames you are shooting, since they will be ahead of you, as you are not running to your full potential.

What do u mean, this slows down the car? then how come the rally cars and race cars shoot flames when they slow down and shift?

too rich of an a/f ratio will rob you of some power. generally, leaner is meaner, but too many people take this approach too far and end up with a 250+ lb. paperweight.

better safe than sorry, so its ok to run a little on the rich side.

you don't have to run it too rich for flames. More fuel than stock will be required, but you don't have to go ***** out and run a garden hose spraying gasoline onto your TB or anything

Put on a straight pipe, aftermarker front, mid, and muffler and you will be shooting all kinds of flames. The lean and rich thing isnt true... If you have fire like keeps burning type of flames that from too rich, but if you like that pop, with a long as flame, then thats the straight pipe

The first time I shot a flame, it scared the hell outta me. I didn't expect it at all.

Its a pretty straight through exhaust so I believe you would be fine with the flamage!

Here's a good dicussion on exhaust flames (and extending your catback to reduce damage to your bumper):

Here's a link to the_glass_man's video of his exhaust shooting some flames:

My RX-7 is stock only with a 3.5" straight exhaust behind the catalysts and i have shot flames from it. I think that the better the fuel the easier you get flames, if you have a straight pipe. I Sweden where i live in we drive on 98 octane, maybe in america you dont have so good fuel so it's harder to get flames?
