So my set up is dezod turbo, catless downpipe, megan mid pipe and injen axle back...

The other day my friend was driving with me (obviously behind me given hes N/A) and he said there were little red sparks coming out of my exhaust and rolling down the road, from what explained sounded like what it looks like when minitrucks drag the frame. Cars running fine, exhaust is still loud as ever, nothing rattling...

Any other turbo tC's have this? I have heard of a flame coming out the back but.. burning stuff? Maybe my resonators are toasted? (megan midpipe has 2)

Just guessing, but it could be the Catalytic Converter?

no cats!

I'm telling you - you may be running too rich. Flames are caused by unburnt fuel coming out of the exhaust, then finally igniting.

enjoithis

well i expected that since theres no cats, but the little pieces rolling down the road... sounds like metal sparks or something

small animal climbed in the exhaust......

B_Real45

Oh there are actual glowing red pieces? That doesn't sound good.. have you picked one up to inspect it?

enjoithis

i havent even found one yet, theyre only under WOT at night that theyre visible.

do resonators ... burn out / explode on backfires?

enjoithis

poor little feller

did you re-use the o-ring shaped gasket between the downpipe and s-pipe? i remember someone else had that gasket fall apart on him.

enjoithis

Possibly!

brett561tc

you should get under your car and check it out.

enjoithis

will to once i get out of work. Wouldn't i hear an exhaust leak though?

Mr_Meaty

yeah...take out the exhaust and check your gaskets...my first guess was cat, but your catless...so gasket would be next guess.

brett561tc

not necessarily. while the outside of the gasket may be fine, and still keeping a seal. the inside might be getting burnt and destroyed, as there is no longer a cat before that gasket burning up that spent fuel.

you never get a break do you? lol

if your car is fine hten it probably isn't a big deal, check everything to make sure it really IS fine.

enjoithis

yea i NEVER get a break.. i just got rear ended and just today before that found an oil leak.

2008, 5 accidents, ive only witnessed 1 OF THEM, and im at a total of about 10g in body repairs already. Oil leak is probobly minor, gota tighten the feed to the turbo or something.

I hear ya there! My '05 has had every panel replaced from separate accidents, except for the driver's side rear quarter panel. I've only been in motion for one of those accidents. :\

enjoithis

i havent even been in motion for any of mine!
