A bit childish this one fellas. What exhaust mod do I need to get the above out the back of my car? Would the gt2 bypass pipes fab speed manufacture do the trick, or do I need something a bit more hardcore. Once again ive come over all childish.[:D] Cheers fallas.
 
Not 100% sure if it applies to the 993 version, but on earlier turbos you just need to put a straight through silencer on and remove the cat if fitted.No need to change headers.
 
You probably won't be able to get it at all because isn't that irritating gap before the revs drop when you lift off caused by the engine management system ensuring that all the fuel in the cylinders is actually burned. No fuel down the exhaust = no flames I guess. Change the management system to that of a 75 turbo though and you should be laughing.....

Does the ecu get fed throttle position or does it just have a microswitch on the throttle like the 3.2 carrera to detect lift off? USA 3.2's also had a full thottle switch.
If the air comes through a MassAirFlow or AirFlowMeter then it probably doesn't have ThrottlePositionSensor.
If the car has a BlowOffValve/Dump Valve (I'm thinking they don't) that dumps to atmosphere rather than a recirculation valve then it won't have a MAF or AFM.

Let us know.

Check on Rennlist, I seem to remember someone their had managed to do this with something like 3 1/2" pipe or was it just decating the catalytic converter and then connecting to some muffler bypasses, but beware 1) if the end pipes dont stick far enough out the back you'll melt the bumper! and 2) the noise will be VERY LOUD
 
Thankyou for all your thoughts fellas, Its not something that I would ever do to my car, its just that I was interested to know if anyone had actually done it on there 993 tt and how. I will stop being 5 years old now. [:D]

Grow up? Why?

We are very fortunate to own a 993tt. Why on earth would we wish to grow up???

I had a suzuki tl1000r super bike with twin race cans on and everytime i dropped the throttle it would shoot out 2 ten foot flames. Felt sorry for people when i was filtering through traffic!!! Anyone need a light.. tee hee!!!!
 
as said previously you will only get flames if there is neat fuel being burnt in the exhaust system. Your car deals with the fuel very efficiently so the only way to get flames will be to fit some sort of aftermarket kit. Be careful not to melt the PU
 
There is a famous white Turbo LE (cover of Porsche Post sometime this year) that I've seen spit flames out of one exhaust on the over-run with completely stock parts.
 
When Ive been on a run with the car and pull up to a standstill, I notice that when you blip the throttle very gently you get a big pop from the exhausts, Is there any body else out there that cant help but do this when they get back home.[;)]
 
Our Turbo2's pop and bang all the time on throttle lift off, if you remove the silencer or cat. If you remove both its louder still
:)
Haven't noticed any flames, maybe try at night with someone behind to see.....
 
I suspect the more efficient Turbo 4 electronic fueling will ensure there is no unburnt fuel to ignite. My 3.3 Turbo 1 does spit flames and I agree with Nathan that the short manifilds were the "answer". These pass much more heat to the Turbo so that it glows red hot more easily.... and thus lights the fuel.

I am 43 and make no apologies for enjoying lighting up the tunnel at Rouen when I go to Le Mans each year. Grow up?...no way!
