Talking How do i make flames shoot out of the tail pipes???

im pretty sure i know what needs to be done, but I want to know for sure. I need to get rid of the cats, and basically put plugs in the tail pipes. I would imagine the spark plugs would need to be placed near the exhaust tips, and then hook up a couple coils back there to a momentary switch of some sort. am i missing anything here? Thanks.

I don't think our cars run rich enough for it to work. You'd hafta tune your car to run really rich, either that or dump some extra fuel into the exhaust pipes w/ the push of a button.

Why am i missing brain cells? Am I the only one that thinks that's cool or what? I guess some people are just a$$holes! And if you were wondering, I'm on the dean's list buddy...

Don't listen to him, some people are just out to start ****.

Personally I think it's pretty cool myself. I saw a video a while back of a pewter Trans Am that shot some 2 foot blue flames out the tips, was pretty damn sweet. It's just really hard to do and get it to work. You'd probably need a fuel like going into your exhaust pipe, and then when you push a button it sprays the fuel out the tailpipes and ignites the spark plug at the same time... cause like I said, even with cats removed there most likely isn't gonna be enough leftovers in the exhaust to ignite like that.

Sure it'll look cool. If that was what you were after you should just buy a V6 camaro and do it because once you tune your car to run rich enough to make good flames, it will perform like ***.

Do a search here in LS1 Tech. We discussed this a few weeks ago.

I'm not being rude ... I just don't feel like typing all that crap again.


Short version ... coil near each tip, spark plug in each tip, remove cats, install kit to drop a couple of cylinders so raw gas goes through the exhaust

To get the fuel in the pipe you can rig up a nitrous noid down there w/ a WOT switch. I have seen it done and it is really cool.
good luck

Is this deans list at a junior high level? It must be. sh*t, these cars already have a bad enough image to think about doing this. He's not an a$$hole. He's just trying to keep you from looking like a dumbass punk. He's got your best interests at heart even if you don't know it.
