Default Exhaust flame Throwing kit??

Hello guys
Well i'm a proud owner of a 2000 Firebird Formula/WS6. I'm thinking about putting an Exhaust flame Throwing kit on the car. But I would like to know if there are any negative things I should worry about besides maybe hurting someone if I'm not carefull ..

other than the fact that its kinda ricey, and your car could very possibly catch on fire, i see nothing that could possibly go wrong

Other than the paint, taillights, bumper and spoiler getting burned/ melted you've got nothing to worry about. Oh and the open flame near the gas tank...

Honesty is the best policy. We're just saving you from humiliation, or worse an injury of some kind.

correct me if im wrong but some of the kits also make your car run richer and if it runs to rich it could hurt your car....but heres my 2 cents- F*CK flames get a jet engine and have an afterburner

Call me stupid, but there's no way I'd purposely add a source of ignition directly adjacent to my fuel tank.

Just my $0.02...

If I was going to add a flame thrower to my car, I’d put it out the front end…..better aiming ability!
