Well... alot of you arent gonna like this :p
Whats the easiest/cheapest way to make the lude spit flames?
Ive the h22a5 block @185bhp
Have a standard exhaust from what i can tell with a backbox but shes rather loud and makes some burbly noises when i left off throttle
Aside from the obvious turbo w/ antilag and sparkplug in the exhaust options
Is there another way that wont destroy my wallet or my exhaust?
Heard the bee-r rev limiter can do it but ignition cut or something damages engine internals.
Any help would be appreciated, itll mainly be for show use but wouldnt say no to destroying a dc2 and letting out a flame haha

when do you want it to spit flames ??? a standard lude with a decat will spit flames not the flames you see the chavs at cruises doing though

ive unitentionaly had my lude spitting some large flames - this was mainly due to exhaust leaks and distributor timing being out so there you go - badly fit your decat - loosen the disit bolts and turn the whole thing slightly towards the front of the car
car will run pretty sluggish at low revs but will sound loud as feck and spit flames in vtec. Downside apart from rough running will be increased fuel costs and a distinct smell of petrol in and out of the car.
Im not encouraging you to do this

I always thought a straight pipe with a decat would make it flame
Spark plug in the exhaust = new backbox in a month??

well u might get lucky
all ludes tend to run rich so decat might give u a few more pops and bangs
u could try sticking some vpower in it and see if that makes a difference

I have a decat plus 3" exhaust pops and bangs a little and the odd flame when hot.

spoon chip made mine shot 4-5ft flames out of its arse on up shifts, scared the jobby out of me the first few times, scared my mate in his mx5 even more
