Mk7 flames? DSG

[Bosnian1]

Hey guys, just a quick question. As of right now, I have a fully stock mk7 gti with a muffler delete. I was wondering if there would be any possibility of "shooting flames" and what I would have to have done in order to get at that stage.

You have a catalytic converter so no flames for you. You'd have to run essentially a straight pipe and a fairly rich tune.

So I would essentially have to take out my catalytic converter. So if I ran a full straight pipe I would then be able to have "flames" with a tune? And by tune you mean stage 1 atleast?

Running any flashed tune or even a piggy back won't give you flames. It would be pretty hard to get flames on the MK7's as there ECU's are so advanced to have a complete burn. When you run rich you're not burning all the fuel, so some if it eventually gets into the exhaust and the heat will cause flames.

This thread reminds me of a friend's RUF 930. Driving behind him at night, you could see the exhaust manifolds glow and some impressive flames out the tail pipes.

My question is what do you mean exactly by rich tune

 

[russiankid]

A tune that dumps more fuel into the combustion chamber than needed, which is also not a good thing. In general, not something that is going to happen with our cars.

Essentially too much fuel in the mix.

Reminds me of the old sparkcut fad for the mk5 r32 back in the day.

Flames on a gti u are gonna have to add a propane kit. You can do it just will have to be added on can't do it with just the engine. The cars are to advanced now a days for flames. Old turbo cars would because they kept fueling off throttle to help keep turbo spoiling.

Can't get flames. But you can get the next best thing: DSG farts

There is a video of a Bull-X exhaust where the car shoots a small flame. I'm looking for it now
