   you'd want a de-cat to be able to pop flames. Mine pops flames when I change down gears from 4th to 3rd and also 3rd to 1st. I have a supersprint race centre section, de-cat supersprint manifold and backbox.
   
   
   You want a stainless steel exhaust system along with de-cat and then it should pop flames but there's no guarantee. It either does or it doesn't...

   might need a manifold buddy as you might have the cat in the manifold.
   
   Its not great to pop flames, pretty much means your cars overfuelling...

   OK, I'll refine the question.
   
   Why do you want an exhaust to pop flames?
   
   I think the majority of car enthusaists will struggle to promulgate a cogent argument as to why popping flames from a road going car is a good thing.

   Lol, it does look quite cool at night when your going along the dual carriageway . My old 205gti used to flame amazingly, lol, but that was overfuelling big time. At one point i spent £20 to get me 50miles, lol.

    you might get a small flame if the car chucks unburnt fuel into the exhaust on overrun.
    
    Basically you'd be after a straight through system, no cat, no baffled silencers. No guarantees this will do anything though. Its not going to turn into a World Rally car
    
    If you are seriously after flames then you either need to go the chavvy flamer kit route (cheap) or have a highly tuned N/a / turbo setup (not cheap). Flames on a tuned car are a byproduct of, not a desired option.

    id just concentrate on getting a nice exhaust system and not worry about the popping part. mine pops every so offen but it wasnt the reason i got an exhaust system.

    Its all about getting fuel in and out as fast as possible. So thats why flames are apparent because the ecu still chucks a little bit in and its unburnt, so it ignites on the exhaust because its hot.
    
    The pops are not actually flames, there just hot air escaping.

    The point of a remap is to get your car to run better with mods like cams or a turbo so I don't see how remapping a car without any serious modifications will do any good?

    I saw a Escort Cossie spit a flame down the lanes near me and also a subaru impreza down the dual carriageway. Made me jump!...IMO it doesn't look that cool on a saxo...
