omg, common guys, that **** is not a kit, my car does that every downshift from WOT. headers, no cats straight through mufflers- my car runs rich, when i am at wot and left of quick, fuel and fumes spark in the exhaust pipes, shoots small flames out the back, like 6 in. or so. its just fuel and fumes burning in the pipes instead of the combustion chamber. someone was explaining this much better on a tv show i watched, but that is the jist of it.

 

Looking at your name, then hearing what you just said, you might want to go get that car looked at. If its running that rich you should do somthing about it.

 

That settles it! When I get my TT kit I will have one of the baddest Mustangs in Chicago! ( I hope, for some reason there is always one faster no matter what)

 

The flame thrower kits generally work by cutting the spark to a couple of cylinders, letting unburned fuel pass through the exhaust which is then ignited by something SIMILAR to a spark plug in the tail pipe.

It's really bad for your car and it will ruin your cats (if you have them), not to mention the danger of raw fuel hitting hot headers - not good.

The flames you see coming out of race cars as they downshift is because they have straight exhaust on them. NASCARS always do it on the short tracks.....they don't even have to downshift - all they do is lift.

 

I agree with must everyone else here, i wouldn't do it. The set up I told you about will work, it goes on after the muffler. I've seen it on several street rods. I've even seen it on the tv show trucks. It works but it's not safe.

 

**** all that. do it. just put it on a switch. that way when your revving at stoplights youll have flames shooting out.

 

heh, 94cbra, i run a 100 shot, so i keep it pretty rich. actually the car runs pretty good.
