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 :roll:

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 :lol:
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.
