    One of the worst trends when it comes to modding cars. For some reason these STEM geniuses think that less burnt fuel means more power, so they just crank the fuel system up and spend time spilling partially burnt diesel out of their exhaust. It's on par with thinking your computer runs cooler when you turn the leds to blue, except more carcinogens. Makes me miss people straight-piping their cars thinking that louder equals faster (j/k, they still do this while "rolling coal", catalytic converters are for pussies).

      i thought it was mostly being done to create a deliberate smoke screen. basically weaponizing their fuel systems.

        It doesn't really work when you drive a car that's been lifted a few feet in suburbs and you can hear the car coming miles away.
