# For Reference: Exhaust Backfire

The game features different exhaust backfire effects. This article documents the look of each for easy reference. To change the backfire effect, open the root `.ent` of your vehicle and navigate to `components > "cars_sport_fx" > effectDescs > "exhaust_gear" > compiledEffectInfo > effect`. Note that the names in quotes might be different for each car. The one named `cars_sport_fx` is always an `entEffectSpawnerComponent`, so that might give you an idea on where to start. The `.effect` files used there can be found under `base\fx\vehicles\_exhaust\`.

Simply replace the path to the `effect` with the one in the description of each image shown below.
