Sparks coming from exhaust?!
« on: October 25, 2013, 08:52:52 am »
So took the go pro out for a test run and noticed after giving it the beans and easing off sparks flying from exhaust?! Car drives absolutely fine but have had engine management light on however. Believe i was told it could be due to incorrect flow pressure whatever that means?? Anyone else here that could help?! Video below not the clearest due to wind noise and also i recorded this on iphone as it was playing back on my tv so apologies!

Is it not just carbon deposits being burnt off?

Cool, but scary at the same time!

think you need to speak to milltek to have them look at it as it looks like a cat problem as that will be the only thing in your exhaust

Seeing as you have no restrictions from Turbo back, perhaps your burning up some wildlife that camped out in there.
