Default Flame throwing exhaust

Has anyone installed flame throwers? I've always wanted some but don't see a web site I trust. Any suggestions?

Your best bet would be to go to a custom car shop and ask them, flame throwers are illegal to have while driving btw.

There was a short DIY on this (kind of a joke, but hey) it used to be there was enough unburnt fuel in the exhust to ignite it, but not on today's vehicles. Now it's all done with propane.

Basically it involves running a propane line to to the exhaust post muffler with a wired up spark plug to the exhaust downstream (toward the exit) of thepropane splice.the spark plug constantly fires, igniting the propane and fire emits from the exhaust. A switch could be rigged in the cab to allow you to turn the system on and off.

You could still do it on a modern vehicle but the Cat would have to be removed.
It worked better on carburated vehicles because you could pump the accel pedal and dump extra fuel down the exhaust. Dangerous, hard on your engine and very Illegal (but looks cool)

AutoLoc makes kits for single and dual exhaust.

I know they're illegal, but so is dark tint and so many other things...These kits work off of shutting cylinders down to bombard your cat with so much gas some can't help but to get by, thus wreaking havok on your exhaust. I'm looking for a kit to inject fuel into the line then ignite it(much more expensive though....).

The Autoloc website saystheir kits can also be used with nitrous or propane instead of unburnt fuel.

i think i watched how to do it on the show trucks... back in the day when that guy stacy did the show. i think his switch disconnected one spark plug ofone cylinder and would activate a spark plug in the exhuast. the unburned gas from that one cylinder would pass through (without the gas) and burn out the tail end.
