- get catless downpipes
- get custom tune to make your car run rich
- have decreased engine performance, fuel economy, and damaged exhaust components
- sweet flames though, bro

Shouldn't necessarily need to run rich. Just on overrun. Isn't that what MHD/PPK burble is doing, just getting the car to spit excess fuel into the exhaust on the overrun?
On a catless car at night you might see some flames, ramp up the 'burble' intensity and maybe you'll get some race-car-like flames.

No burble intensity unfortunately for MHD n55 Im catless with muffler delete I just thought there'd be something to make it happen other than MHD burbles

I have heard that the AIC controller sometimes does not abruptly shut off fuel flow.

Well I'm catless and fully straight piped and I have only seen one flame. This is because I have PPK and I got the exhaust really hot by driving the car hard. This is the only way you can get a flame
