i have a 84 z28 with a LG4 I have a dual muffler delete pipe I would like to cut the cat off and install a cherry bomb muffler in its place.My only worry is a friend told me it will prolly shoot flames out like sraight pipes? anyone know what a cherry bomb sound slike on these cars?

 

I heard they sound real hard.That would be awsome if flames came out the tail pipes when you mash out

 

I can't say from any personal experience but I doubt your car will shoot flames with a cherry bomb on it.

 

Thats funny. But i really have no idea, I doubt it as well. www.restoreclassics.com sells a flame thrower kit IF you want the car to do that.

 

No it won't shoot flames

 

Not specifically on these cars, but in general they are loud and restrictive.

 

dont a lot of turbo engines pop out flames when u downshift and such?

 

Like everyone said, most likely not. But if you happen to have a rich tune, with no cat, and a straight through muffler, there is a slight chance once in a while I guess.

 

does anyone here play Gran Turismo?

 

Every time I beat on my car on a cold day during my 1-2 upshift it spits fire

 

 

Maybe in your own mind it does

 

my carb setup is runnin rich... during shifts or hard decel it spits out flames from the cutout (were cat used to be) but i don't think it's ever done that through the muffler...

 

No all my friends say theyve seen it and theres a dull spot on my bumper above my tailpipes so I could believe it

 

One of my buddy's had two bombs on his truck and they both would shoot flames out of them preaty long . but he had both bolted right on the header's.

 

Unless your running open headers with way too little timing your not going to see flames. If the motors running right, all the flames should be in the cylinders where they belong.

 

i dont know with the charry bomber on but i got straight pipes with not cat and i got a flame thrower kit on it that works i got it off of ebay for 40 bux but needed to pick up 2 coils another 10 each and it works

 

Like mentioned earlier, if you're spitting flames, I'd check the fuel map for a RICH condition. If the fuel curve's close, you won't see flames......unless you're running nitro methane.

 

i was running straight pipes on mine and it never shot flames all the way out the back..

open headers is a different story tho

 

it probably will not shoot flames out of the pipe. If you have not cat and a straight through pipe it may shoot a flame, especially if you have it running really rich.

 

no cat sorry my bad

 

To get flames you should put a hole in each exhaust pipe and put a spark plug in each hole, then wire it to a switch somewhere on the dash.

 

So in essence you want to put a resonator in place of the cat. Never a good idea flow wise. No doubt - it won't shoot flames.
