How do I stop flames from coming out of exhaust??

I keep getting pulled over because flames are shooting out of my exhaust. It does look cool but not worth the tickets. How do I stop this???

Get a high flow catalytic converter or a non-straight through muffler.

What mods do you have that cause you to have flames (cause I want flames )?

Put a catalytic converter on your car. If youre still shooting flames with a catalytic converter your cat isnt working/is shitty or youre running way too rich.

Yah, High flow cat for you! But stay off the throttle around cops and it won't shoot flames. If its not boosting you really shouldn't see any flames, and if you do, you have a bigger problem.

umm it shoots flames out at random times. boosted and no boost at all. Especially when i slow down. If i put a cat it will melt because i dont have the factory emissions like the air pump.

Hmmm, It really shouldn't shoot flames when it wants. After hard throttle it will shoot/backfire when letting off or clutching. Whats your mod list.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say put some wire mesh in the end of your exhaust. This is basically what four stroke motocross bikes use to stop flames from flying out the end of the exhaust when riding in the woods. They call the exhausts, 'spark arrestors'. Good luck!
