Default I spit fire!
hehe .. i was cruisin around pt charlotte lastnight with ls1vette97 and after a good accel/decel .. i was informed i spit fire.

i have a backfire at 3500 if i let the revs come down from 4000 or higher and i guess the lack of exhaust components well .. allows me to shoot flames out the back.

i tried to get a video of it later .. but it's almost next to impossible as I need a car that can keep next / close to me and shoot a video.

oh well .. just thought i'd share.

What do you have for exhaust? Just straight pipes? Cats?
