Exclamation Flame thrower kit?

Just wondering if anyone has one on there car(tailpipes). I know its basically putting sparkplugs in the tips of your exhaust but what are the chances of a back fire or damage? also anyone know if they would find it during emissions?

1ST. Highly illegal in most states.
2nd. wont pass emissions or safety.
3rd. only looks good on old slick hot rods.

Now that's out of the way, I have seen them on the older cars, hot rods mostly, usually with the carb set to run just rich enough the plug was all you needed, some modern system use butane or propane, I find that a bit dangerous, this kit is even worse as it cuts spark at the engine and passes raw gas through the system, just think what that does to your cats...

yeah ive read that its mostly carb'd cars.. and i found a different kit that doesnt cut the engine spark which says its alot safer... i figtured I could somewhat hide them when i install them so I would pass but MA is very strict so idunno.. thats my only problem i guess

That would never pass in MA. Not to mention you are going to kill your car with something that. I am not sure, but we may have found something stupider than Lambo doors.

This thread is literally all it takes for a "Flame kit" since you're about to get roasted!
