Of course it would but what's a little melted plastic when you can shoot out a 3 foot flame while you're getting smoked by the mustang in the next lane.

...Koff (And maybe get the front end to bounce up and down about 3 feet...)

If you want flames shooting out your tail pipe, go eat some cheap Mexican food




I laughed till my sides hurt, that was a good end to the day.

I feel a little sorry for Adam who started this thread. That being said this is turning into one of my favorites.

All in good humor. A serious and sincere question that goes awry. The video was pretty cool and I'd probably do something like that on a different vehicle. The bike videos were particularly interesting. BTW I always thought that those kits were propane fueled? Comments Anybody?

realistically, if you want the fun of exhaust flames, get yourself a healthy cam (with some good exhaust overlap to let the AF mixture down the pipes), lose the cats, and get some straight-through mufflers. a couple stabs of the gas pedal & your audience will be captivated. you will be, too.
