Hello friends,

I have purchased a Hotlicks Exhaust Flame kit for my corvette. Please dont judge, I know this type of thing isnt for everyone. I have been having a hell of a time trying to find the right wire to tap into and have finally given up and decided to reach out to this community for help. The guide wants you to tap into the ignition wire located in the engine bay. The way most people do this is by finding a 20amp fuse in the fuse box labeled ign or coil something like that. I have tried the ENGIGN #19 and that did not work. Any Advice on where to find this would be greatly appreciated. Once the install is complete ill upload a video of the car shooting flames incase anyone wants to see what all the fuss is about.

A quick video of what itll look like:

A video of someone installing on a gensis I used:

 

I read the title and thought “oh I’m great at dumb stuff I can certainly help”.

But nope, I can’t even help with this.

I don’t think it’s dumb, it’s cool imo. I’ll be waiting for a video. Good luck.

 

Check out fuse 11 (ASRY OFF) in the interior fuse box. It isn't hooked to anything and switches with the ignition. I used this fuse to power both of the cig/power outlets in the car and it worked great.
This is what I found on what it is for

i think whistle tip would be better. Bubb rubb approves

 

Would be more useful coming out the front of the car for all those left lane blockers

 

Might be a good deterrent for tailgaters though!

 

If you're being tailgated, you're the slow one!

 

As soon as I saw the video you posted, I thought of these:

 

This seems like a great way to catch your car on fire. It's your car though. I hope you have fun.

 

Good luck with the install. Not for me, but looking forward to seeing your finished project.

I was going to suggest this exact same power take off, since I had just been reading the owners manual I don't own on line, and was somewhat surprised, since all the posts I read call for going into the fuses or wires. but didn't know if this feature is common to every year,

for the record, I am now, and have always been, solidly pro fun. No apologies needed for a little harmless fun around me. My only concern is from reading a post about a guy who was screwing around with more powerful headlights and accidentally heat damaged his body, adding a few bubbles on the body edge. While a guy might miss the extra heat of a new light source, a doubt the heat of a newly installed jet flame out the back will be a surprise to someone in that deep.

Myself, I run no flames but am considering adding afire extinguisher , because of the age of the car and the flammable body. Found a chemical stick that works like a road flare, with the advantage that it doesn't need periodic maintenance, or leave a residue. the disadvantage is you can't turn it off, and it isn't approved as a fire fighting device here, probably because of the chemical reaction is not breathable, but should be fine used upwind and outside. Burning corvette fumes can't be real great either.

I have those in both of my garages. Apparently, if you use a regular fire extinguisher on a car it can cause corrosion of about anything the powder gets on. Unfortunately, the Element products are not cheap, about double what a normal extinguisher is.

 

As promised


thanks for all the help I appreciate the replies this took me like 3 weeks to finally figure out. I’m stoked with how it turned out! I’ll upload some more videos to that channel of the car shooting flames if you guys are interested!

 

^ won't be long now

 

I’ll post a video of the first time I got it working. My bumper caught on fire a little bit, I think you’ll like it.

 

 

^ crazy man! For the love of god don't do that inside of your garage
