Its not loud with stock exhaust just sounds better at WOT and it will only blow a flame out when it backfires or some NLS.. Your not gonna get a steady blue flame

Sometimes I get backfires so loud you can hear them echo off of overpasses and such. Just normal shifting. It seems to happen more if you hold 3-4k in 2nd and upshift quickly.

Then again it has to be 85 degrees or hotter or it won't happen.
