    Unhappy v6 vp backfiring when taking off ?

    just put extractors on my vp v6 and it has just started back firing when taking off?
    but only does it when it gets warm and only some times not all the time ?

    Did you put the oxygen sensor back on the new extractors?

    Has it started backfiring since you put on the new plugs and leads? What gap did you use for the plugs?
