They are about 2-3 foot flames out my twin 5 inch back box. I've got a Chevrolet Comaro custom exhaust with decat and straight through pipes with 4-1 manifold.

I've also got a spoon chipped ECU.

It's only when the engine is really hot and only does it at high revs from 3rd to 4th. I can make it do it too just rev tits off it and put it into 4th and she flames nice and good. It's not every gear like my last one.

I don't see it as a problem everything seems good. I've just been to Southend and back today to give the car a good run out and it was perfect. :D

Careful you dont get nicked down that way. The police in Southend have a control order in place on car exhausts... :roll:

Southend used to be great for car meets/cruising (or in my case not really, because a) I was driving a Nissan Sunny estate :lol: b) I was too busy rolling out of Adlib at 3:30am jobby-faced and sweaty, then wandering down to get a burger from big bad john and laughing at the twats in their :tosser: escort cabriolets...)

Apparently static car meets in the sealife centre car park and along in front of the arcade are horrendous criminal activity though, so the place is dead for cars these days (and the arcades are empty as a result, too!).

The car park further up towards westcliffe must be in the minority in the country that's got mass coverage of speed camera's, too!

Yeah I used to go a few Saturday nights years ago when it was big. Wouldn't go any where near it now its completely lost the appeal to go there. I must of come past your neck of the woods at some point. I did see Chelmsford signs everywhere along the M25. I should of popped in and said Hi, don't think my mrs and the little one would of appreciated it after a long day. :lol:

Now you were within spitting distance of that, its literally 3 mins off the M25 into Brentwood High St. But...
:evil:
Grew up there. Wasn't too miffed either way about it back then tbh but bloody hate the place now. ITV have got a jobby-load to answer for, manufacturing that pretentious bullshit that's now taken over the place :tosser:

Apparently there are organised TOWIE coach tours to Brentwood these days :roll: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser: :tosser:
