homemade exhaust flame thrower

I would like to know how to throw flames out of the exhaust with a spark plug, wire, swith. I tried it but had no luck what I did was drill a hole into the last 5in of the exaust and put the spark plug in there and the wire to the positive terminal of the battery. Some one told me that I needed a coil? Please help me

Yea umm here is a few points to help you out. your gunna need a coil for the plug in the exhaust, you SHOULD get another switch to cut power from the origional coils. rev up high, cut power to coils and give power to the other coil and stay on the gas cant go for tooo logn or the car will die. Theres alot more details but those are some of the major points. Do a search!
