wow... pop some flames!!!
weird thing happen on the way home last night... i was driving home minding on my own bisnis when this new Subaru came up to my tail asking for a race. He stayed behind me and kept on giving me the high beam so i put in second (auto) and punched it. I change to third and fourth (D), hit the brake and change to third again as there was a car blocking the way... as i downshift i heard a loud POP, and a second POP and could see FLAMES from the reflections on my rear view mirror... the guy even backed off!! hahaha
Im a bit worried tho as it is only wiv a drop in filter, downpipe, gutted cat, c.b. and stock ECU. Although it sounded very cool and LOUD, im worried that this isnt normal...
the a/f meter shows im running very rich. Dont know how accurate this is... but is it normal to have popin sound and flames with only the above mods??

yeah that's very normal but I don't suggest shifting the auto manually and if you are going to downshift make sure you put it in neutral first and rev it up so it doesn't stress the trans when you go into a lower gear. You don't need to use your transmission(especially an auto) to stop that's what you have brakes for.

So on your stock ECU you are running an aftermarket intake, downpipe and a straight through exhaust? Do you have a boost controller?

That't be your reason for the flames right there. Gutted cat and a high-flowing exhuast will do that.
