Well my friend said when he saw me get on my car in the daylight on the highway, a little black smoke came out the exhaust. And Ive had a few different people tell me at night when ive raced them that i shoot about a 6in flame out the pipes. Im guessing its when i shift. I have long tubes, true duals xpipe without mufflers, free mods, and mail order tune (Madtuner) So is this normal? or whats up with my car? It runs good

LT1's are known for shooting some flames through the pipes. Its pretty common. I witnessed this a few times from following my brother back when he owned my car even when it was bone stock besides the catless stock exhaust.

I REALLY should get a vid of both my truck and my Dad's vette at night... which the way they pop, backfire, gurgle and rumble when lifting, I'm SURE there's some flame.
Both are no cats, and flowmaster mufflers.

This one isn't as "natural". I've wanted to do this for awhile. I DO have several spare NOS fogger nozzles :D
BTW, I have no sound... so no clue what is being said. But these guys are idiots from what I can tell.

I hate flamethrower kits... some kid fucking used that shit in traffic while at a stop light with me behind him and I about dragged him out of the car and beat his ass.

edit: and I just watched that whole video and those kids were a bunch of fucking pricks.. they would've deserved to have had their asses kicked.
