usually hot rods have them.....they are sorta like spark plugs in the exhaust i believe......they shoot out pretty far, i bet who ever is behind you wouldnt be happy you scorched their front end.......

personally, i dont think they really fit on a mustang......

how that works...

You have an ignition source in the tail pipe. usually a spark plug. You rev the engine as high as it will go, kill the ignition and hold the throttle wide open. Then you send power to the spark plug and it ignite the mixture in the tail pipe creating a flame. It works best with straight pipes because fuel builds up in mufflers and when it ignites in there, it tends to make a loud bang. It will ignite when you turn the ignition back on so the engine will run again so you can rev it up and shoot some more flames.

The only way to get a flame while driving around is to inject a fuel behind the mufflers or run your car pig rich.

Is it really something you want to do or is it just neat?

I had a 84 Ford Ranger pickup that was the most awesome back-fire machine ever. I would cut the ingnition while moving then back on and BANG!!! Im not talking firecracker bang, I am talking stick of dynomite bang! I had it while in college. We all lived in a big house near the CSU campus and we often walked to campus. I would sneak up behind friends on there way to class and just as I was passing them cut the engine and then back on and BANG!!! They would literally poop their pants. One night 3 or 4 of us crowded into the cab and were headed to the bars. We came upon some poor guy minding his own business who had no idea we coming. I must have let too much gas build up cause when I turn the ignition back on it sounded like a scud missle went off underneath us. It not only scared the guy on the sidewalk ( he jumped so high I think he hit his head on a store sign) it scared the heck out us too. We didnt stuff laughing for hours. Next morning I investigated the condition of the muffler. It had been blown wide open.

What a punk I was.
