Default A quick question and some impressions (Kinda Long)

1. Vast Ceramic RS4 Clutch kit is perfect....pedal feel medium to push and engagement is butter smooth (Thank you Vast, you guys rule!)
2.DIY Downpipes with precats and main cats removed....I was running stock dp's with the k04's and i knew they were a Huge bottle neck, the difference in power and lag is night and day, boost comes on harder about 1000rpms sooner, i love them.

Now A question

Is it normal for a stage 3- car to sometimes backfire and shoot small flame out the exhaust, like i said i have all cats removed and a UUC VM3( one BADASS combo if you like it raw and loud i'll post a soundclip tomorrow)


Thanks for the help.

While I don't have that set up, I've seen several videos on Utube, etc. where guys launch a flame.

Default Not normal for 3- to backfire and shoot flames.... I have seen mine shoot a few flames on dyno, but

no backfires.

Reports from slower cars on the track indicate I was spitting fire at 3- a couple years ago.

Do you mean a bubble sound or a burble sound? Sounds more like burble sound to me.
