Voila: fire…maybe. Also, if your car has a turbo, an atmospheric blow off valve will help. The fast track to flame throwing is to get yourself a rotary-powered car. A straight-piped rotoary-engined car will likely spit flames without the need to fiddle with anything.
In the old days, people who were keen on throwing flames from their exhausts would fit a spark plug about six inches from the end of the exhaust. And we all know what happens then. Yep, flames. Antilag and two-step systems are a great way to induce fire from your exhaust. This reduces turbo lag, but also ensures some extra unburnt fuel makes its way into the exhaust.
Good for flames, though admittedly bad for your manifold and turbo if used to excess. As we mentioned there is a serious lack of information on this topic. The first place we found was Hot Licks exhaust who makes flame-thrower exhaust kits. They note the following:.
We found two instances, the first being in Virginia, and the second being in North Carolina. Links to these codes can be found here:. These may be outdated codes and the most recent versions of the documents are likely available through their respective state. Again you should contact your local DMV to determine if these are prohibited on public and private, only private property, or not at all.
Even in the above screenshot from Hot Licks website, they note that they are for off-road usage on your private property only. To sum this up, we would suggest never using a flame-thrower on a public roadway.
Check the legality in your state and use them only on privately owned property. This method is the easiest way for you to get this effect. Flame-throwing kits are not very expensive, and for the most part, they do the job. Also, since this way requires the least amount of work, it might be the safest. However, if you prefer a DIY project, you can try a cheaper method, and do it yourself.
One of the most popular brands for flamethrower exhausts is Hot Licks. You can learn more about the kit by clicking here. Believe it or not, you can cause an older car to backfire without much effort. Modern cars have systems to prevent it from happening, but you can cause most cars from the eighties to backfire. Before doing so, make sure that everything is in perfect working order.
Most notably, there should be no drips or leaks that might cause an accidental fire. Use a richer fuel mix as the more you can dump into the exhaust, the bigger flames you could get. To get fired up, accelerate hard, slide your foot off the gas really quickly, and you might then get flames coming from the exhaust as the fuel catches light on the hot pipes.
Either way, it will work despite how ridiculous it sounds. All you do is fit a spark plug towards the end of your exhaust. About half a foot from the end should do. Get it wired up to an ignition button in the cab, and then give it a press every time you want to shoot flames like a badass as the wasted fuel is ignited.
This is something a little more advanced but should give you spectacular fiery results. If you are adept at that kind of thing, get your truck to not close the throttle and cut fuel when in the high revs range. A two-step system means your truck will have two limiters rather than one. Once you have done that set-up, any unburnt fuel will come into the exhaust, and ignite as it shoots out.
