Been in London all weekend and not with my car.
Got home last night, woke up this morning and have no battery left as id left the CD player on :rolleye: :signLOL:
Anyways, just jump started it now, gave it a big rev, and BANG! (i was round the back of the car, brother in drivers seat) a blue flame came out of the left pipe about half a foot long!! followed by some black smoke!? :confused:
Should i be worried or was it just excess petrol or something, it was a very very loud bang!
car is running fine now, looked cool as fooook aswell, just really wondering if i should be worried.

Sounds like some unburnt fuel...
You running a full decat?
Used to get some REALLY cool pops/bangs & flames in my Scoob :happy2:

joe you crazy fool (BA stylee..)
modern catalytic converter engines should never be 'bump started' :signLOL:
usually fries the cat with all the unburnt fuel igniting over it.
in all seriousness prob just fine :happy2: just taken 8 lives out of the cat :laugh:
I reckon an exhaust flamer kit (http://www.akamoto.co.uk/flaming-exhaust.asp) would appeal to you :grin:

Doesn't take more than a couple of them to completely destroy a cat.. The internals are pretty delicate.. They can cope with huge EGT's but not neat fuel..
Not as bad as people running WOT boxes on catted exhausts though ha..
