Why do you want to make it backfire? You're going to have a real tough time getting it to happen if it's fuel injected.

Aren't there exaust fittings you can add to make the same effect.

Cherry bombs i think is what they called them when i was in high school, you reved up really hard and then it would pop loudly.

I could be wrong, i was never a car guy.

ya, i do not want an all out loud muffler.
i want it to just be able to backfire at will,like at a bank line/atm drive thru...stop light.

Hell...my car was doing that for about a month. Replaced the spark plugs and the wires and all is well.

Cars with carbs.-

Get to cruising speed, leave in gear, turn off ignition for a few secs, turn back on and blow off muffler.

Cars with FI -

I know how to do it when running....

As you're cruising along, switch the engine off, keep the throttle down slightly, so that petrol gets pumped though the system and into the exhaust. Turn the ignition back on to get the engine started, then as the fumes go through the exhaust, they'll light the petrol in there, and BANG as well as a little smoke


My dad did that whilst his friend was following him, his friend thought the car was fvcked!

Light a firecracker. A true backfire can do serious damage to your engine.

Yes it is.

There are 2 kinds: exhaust and intake.

Exhaust backfire may damage your muffler(s) or pipes.

Intake backfire (or carb) can blow up your carb and cause an engine fire or blow the intake manifold off the engine. Either way it can permently damage your engine.

Heh, never heard "backfire" used with exhaust before. The "back" in "backfire" refers to air moving the wrong direction - "back" throguh the intake.. the word doesn't make sense when used with exhaust.

I googled it though and it seems to be a fairly commonly used term... oh well.

Just run open headders. You'll see lots of exhaust backfiring, esp. if your mixture is off. The unburned mixture ignites in the exhaust and makes loud popping noises as well as flames.
