This phenomenon is caused by an overly-rich air/fuel mixture, as unburnt fuel is ignited further down the exhaust system, producing a loud pop or even flames from the exhaust. The spark from the spark plug can only ignite a certain amount of air/fuel mixture, therefore the excess fuel is exhausted out of the cylinder.

Is spitting flames bad for your car?
It almost sounds like an explosion. It is actually called “Afterfire” and is harmful to the engine because it may get over-heated and your inlet and exhaust manifold (particularly) may get damaged.
Can you shoot flames with a muffler?
Yes you can. Add a working spark plug to the exhaust tip. Then pull on the choke lever while you turn off the main ignition for a second or two.
Can you shoot flames with cats?
YES. The gasoline burned by the car, the hydrocarbons produced by the engine, and the catalytic converter are not involved in generating the flames that exit the exhaust pipes of a flame car, other than that the exhaust from the engine produces the pressurized air flow that makes the effect so dramatic.

Can automatic cars backfire?
Can I make a car backfire if it has an automatic transmission? Yes. With most cars, it’s easier to accomplish with an aftermarket exhaust system, whether that be an axleback, catback or a straight pipe.
Can you 2 step a non turbo car?
Manufacturers tend to use a fuel cut, as it keeps the engine set at an RPM without any popping and banging. Manufacturers also tend to just make it so the ECU holds an RPM when launch control is activated. Two step can be used on naturally aspirated and boosted engines.
Can a backfire damage an engine?
Backfires and afterfires are worth paying attention to since they can cause engine damage, power loss, and decreased fuel efficiency. There’s a variety of factors that can cause your car to backfire, but the most common ones are having a poor air to fuel ratio, a misfiring spark plug, or good old-fashioned bad timing.12 fév. 2020
What makes a car pop and crackle?
Pops and bangs are generated when an explosion echoes in the exhaust. This is either fuel touching the hot exhaust before exploding, or an explosion happening earlier in the system and reverberating through the exhaust.

Do high flow cats add horsepower?
The amount of horsepower you will get from a high flow catalytic converter depends on your engine and the modifications you have made to it. You may see a horsepower gain of as little as 5 hp or as much as 60 hp. You may also get an extra 5-60 ft lbs of torque.12 fév. 2020
Can you tune a car with cats?
Yes. And Yes, the cats are still working and doing their job. You can ‘set up’ the tune to not throw a code with an off-road pipe by telling the ECU to ignore that the rear O2 sensors are reading the same as the front (Off road pipe instance).16 déc. 2012
Why do Lamborghinis spit flames?
The answer is simple the fuel that had left the cylinder unburnt (which is too hot ) burns when it finds oxygen after it has been expelled from the muffler. When its super cars its all about high revolution they are made to be revolved harder around 10,000 rpm or more.
