Default Shooting flames

What do I need to shoot flames from my exhaust ? Is this common with F-Bodies ?

Eh, shoot flames? Gunna melt the ricer's body kits or something?


Look into a custom propane setup, if done properly it can look cool...

Unless you're talking about when you see people shift and the flames fly out...

do a search of the entire forum. i've seen this topic a couple times, it shouldn't cost $1000 to run flames. a spark plug and a big cam would do

Theres a company in most truckin mags called autoloc or something similar, they do the flame kits. It's just a kit with a spark plug mounted further back in the tailpipe...pretty simple system.

Or just run open headers and really rich, you'll shoot flames. I dont know from experience or anything.

Not worth the legal trouble. Save it for the movies. It can look nice if done professionally but not worth the hassle.

All you need is to run rich, rig a coil (separate from the rest) directly to a sparkplug at the back of your exhaust (near the tip with a weld-in bung). Add power and a switch by the driver's seat, and don't use it in front of a cop or there will be hell to pay.
