your running an open down pipe and shot 5ft flame? so car +5ft = 10ft+ flames in total?

either way flames are excess unburnt fuel....... or you are driving an RX7

If your so worried about it, put a cat on the car and get it tuned better..

Or maybe you have one of those ghetto flame thrower kits installed

are you sure its not rich when it blows flames ? it only takes a split second for a car to go from lean to rich, so during shifts you COULD be dumping raw fuel out the exhaust

a friends turbo sho was 12:1 under boost, stoich under light load, lean on cruise, but dumped massive amounts of fuel when free reving, which i was able to light w/ a lighter causing 7+ foot flames

depends on the situation, a stoich mixture that doesnt combust properly might have the flame start at the exhaust valve (like if the timing is way off) in which case it would be a 10 foot flame, but a rich mix wont blow flames until the exhaust hits atmosphere and mixes, giving it the oxygen it needs to burn

If your car is shooting out fire 5ft from your bumper and it's scorching your friends bumper, why the fcuk is he following you so close?
