How to go from exhaust pops and bangs to shooting flames?
aorry if it’s a dumb question. Is it a matter of removing the remaining cats?
When it was stock, it had some nice cracks on Decel
with headers and high flow cats, the pops are louder.
If if I run test pipe instead of hfc, will my car shoot flames on runoff? or do I also need richer tune?

I think you need a full cat delete and then some unburnt fuel on decel which is what the pops are now, like 1NS1GN1A said, eurocharged has a flame tune to give you some extra pops and farts.

You have to have full cat delete in order to have flames.
To be honest, the fumes and flames gets old after awhile. I used to have full headers and no cats on my old E60 M5. It sounded fantastic, but if I could do it all over again I’d go with HFC as they’re so efficient now there is no reason to go catless. Plus, there were times I thought my rear bumper caught on fire! Also, it’s very bad for the environment, I mean, we do all breathe the same air. Maybe it’s just me growing older and out of my college days.
