Does your Cobalt spit flames?

I have an 07 SS SC with plenty done to it. Basically I'm just wondering.. Who spits flames and how did you make it happen?? I have headers, downpipe, gutted/hallowed cat, intake, and a 3" catback exhaust. I can get some pretty intense crackles especially when letting the revs off in first gear. Is spitting fire as easy as simply removing the cat?? Where da flames at??

that would involve converting it to run only e85 if I'm correct? It's still a daily driver :p

FYI, bouncing off the rev limiter isn't as cool sounding as in a Honda either. You might have the wrong car...

but gas in your tailpipe, start the car ... run to the back and light a match on the tail pipe.

the spark + exhaust fumes + gas will make it shoot flames.

then just jump back in and drive around

My TC occasionally throws flames on no lift shifts. Stock tune and catless downpipe.
