ive seen footage of my car shooting flames when i changed gear. Pretty standard stuff really. Slam throttle closed, overfuel briefly, unburnt fuel in exhaust absorbs heat, vapourises, and the hot exhaust ignites it with what oxygen is available. or when it gets to the exhaust tip it hits fresh oxygen and ignites, producing flames out the exhaust tip.

Since fitting my ssqv sometimes when I'm booting it or running through the gears I get a "POP pop" from the exhaust. I never noticed before but then I've had the roof off all week. The exhaust doesn't usually make much noise but I always go :lol: flames? Today the car behind backed off awhen it happened. So there's a chance lol
