Re: Got flames? as in flame kits for exhaust
isn't a matter of inserting a spark plug in your exhaust and splitting a plug wire to it?

It's a spitfire kit and it was easy to install. Shoots about a 3 ft flame when the exhaust is good and hot. Seems to discourage tailgaters. ![]()

LEMIELD:
Do you have to run your system rich in order to get enough burnable fumes to ignite? I was on www.hotlicksexhaust.com and they have a system I was looking into. A friend of mine did a propane flame kit on his which burns blue,but its all fabricated. |

![]() It does wash down the cylinder walls and probably dilutes the oil to some extent so I change my oil at a shorter interval. It's not good for the engine but I don't do it all the time so I'm willing to accept the risk. It sure does look cool at night on a dark street! ![]() ![]() http://www.hotrodsetc.net/orderspitfire.htm

Re: Got flames? as in flame kits for exhaust
More info on this would be nice. Is there not enough burnable gases in the exhaust to ignite? Why couldn't you just mount spark plugs in the tail pipes and run a toggled 12 volts to them?

Re: Got flames? as in flame kits for exhaust
if your carb is adjusted right, then there won't be nearly enough fumes to ignite. I have seen ppl who had wired up a coil and spark plugs in there tail pipes,a nd then pulled the manual choke and toss the toggle, but I can't say how it would comapir to a real system.
I'd like to see it on side pipes personally. www.mooneyes.com has a flame thrower kit too. |

Re: Got flames? as in flame kits for exhaust
A good system would be to use an injector run off of a washer motor to inject gas into the pipes about 12 inches in front of the spark plug. That way you don't hurt the motor doing it.
Also, this way you can flip the switch and slap the peddle to the firewall so that it's a triple dose of flames, being loud, and burning tires. Toad

Re: Got flames? as in flame kits for exhaust
We sell em if you want to buy em. If that floats yo boat. I don't think it really blows peoples minds. the options are endless on what you can do. You can rig up just about any gas. I still think its silly. spend your money on better things than Blowing someones mind. If I had a rat rod my look cool

Re: Got flames? as in flame kits for exhaust
Flaming exhaust is straight out of the fifties, just like baby moon hub caps, souped up flat heads and fender skirts. A classic 50's touch to car culture.
