In case you’ve been to a race before, you might have noticed that racecars do spit some flames from time to time, especially when downshifting or the driver taking his foot off the gas at high rpms. But you can actually have those things on a street car.
To put it simply, the phenomena described above happens due to the rich mixture which is not completely burnt in the combustion chamber. So it gets out through the derestricted exhaust system and therefore ignites once again.
That’s one reason, but performance cars fitted with turbo and an anti-lag system can do exactly the same thing... But it happens more frequent and much louder. This is because the anti-lag system injects fuel in the exhaust to keep the turbo spooled. It’s very effective but it will minimize the life of your exhaust.
Why? Well, because it’s like firing an AK-47 in those pipes. And it really sounds like one too. Not exactly like the full-size AK, but it definitely mimics the sound of a Mini Draco AK-47 pistol.
Don’t know what that is? Think of more compact AK-47 you can hide in a coat. It comes without a stock and with a shorter barrel. And because the shorter barrel there are more flames and even more bang.
