I've heard depending on how you set it up they can be harmful to the car because you run raw gas through your engine or something? But then there's another way where you put an injector in your tail pipe, idk that just seems dangerous

raw fuel goes through the exhaust i believe...uses a spark plug to ignite it. seems like it would be safe if you go with a big brand who has had success...just have to shop around. i believe you should have an o/r midpipe for it cuz the cats make the flame really small or even nonexistant. i dunno...its still sketchy having flames in your exhaust...but it is pretty awesome IMO lol.

I saw it at at one of those car shows, like they have in the evenings at burger places, and w.e you know the drill... I asked the guys who owned the car, it was like Belair or something, really nice, and so I asked him, and he had a fuel line in the exhaust tip, and some sort of ignition device, might have been a spark plug, or maybe it was something like 2 wires cut in half and having the electricity jump the gap. That would work I'm sure. I doubt theres any kits. This is pure self-innovation.

You would only be using it momentarily...

Why do people want these things on a Mustang??? They are for old school lead sleds, not newer cars. Sorry but it just screams rice to me.
