Fire when i lift off the throttle

OK this happened once.. my friend was behind me when we where racing. he said when i lifeted it backfired.. fire. he said it was so cool:) i have no cats on the car, and i want to know.. is it bad for a engine/muffler if fire comes out of the back.. and how is this caused? how do i get it to happen more often :)

that happened once to me when i farted.

hahahahhaha like jim carrey in dumb and dumber

what happens there (in the case of the car, not gen's flatulance) is that when you lift you cut off the air, so you get a momentaraly rich condition untill the computer adapts and cuts fuel, that rich mixture dosnt fully burn in the cylender cuz there isnt enough air, so as it comes out as a hot gas, and enters the athmosphere, it combusts, creating the cool fireball out the back of the tailpipe. i would say so long as it stays on that side of the cylender head, your ok. when it starts coming out the intake, your gonna have a bad day.

ok.. i want it to happen more often..:)

rev it up real high and let off the gas real quick

You can buy kits that mount in your tailpipe.. They come with a seprate ignition coil, and a spark plug thats threaded into your exhaust pipe.. its all hooked up to a switch in your car, and from what im told, they're easy to hook up and relativly cheap.. It looks cool too

whats this kit called?

flamethrower....

Thats the one!

keep in mind that those flamethrower kits burn the paint on the rear bumper and leave horrible black marks all over the bumper in most cases. for this reason alone i'd never get one.

they are also illegal

ahh.. cops will never notice? Yeah the melted paint and carbon are definatly cons of the flamethrower... But if your like me, and you like your tips to stick out an inch or two past the bumper, it'l be ok! its not something you should use every time you come to a red light

i would never put something on my car that would melt it

hell if i was at a light and a cop pulled up behind me, i would fire it up twice as hard...

thatd be funny as shit

yeah .. what the hell... might as well burn the shit out of that cops grill while ur at it.. i mean.. ur already in trouble for having it.. might as well make your last time with it the best:)
