Flames
If you guys are really worried about screwing up your car just to get flames just put a freaken spark plug in your pipe. My favorite is putting a small fuel injector right in front of the plug with propane or nitromethane or something. Propane and nitromethane don't show up good during the day but at night you get blue and white flames. My preference is the nitromethane you can get it at hobby shops and it gives a kind of ghost look to your car.
Of course if you don't want it to looked rigged just use gasoline.

i would never rig up something (sparkplug or propane, etc) in the exhaust just to get flames. How is that any different from haveing 1 of those fake electronic BOV? i guess it's a F&F thing.
as for inducing flames, the multiple high revs always works. But what also works for me is cruising in 3rd @ 4000-5000 (normal city cruising) and let off the throttle and allow engine braking. Voila! Couple of flames with nice pops. Scares the hell outta that soccer mom next to you. lol

From what I have seen on TV you make a hole in the exhaut pipe and thread it for a spark plug. But most of the kits I seen have some sort of device that makes the car run rich as hell so there is fuel in the exhaust. You rig up a coil to the plug and set it up with a switch or button that you push to make the plug fire. The one kit I saw you had to rev up the engine to like 3k rpms and it shoots like 6 foot flames.
Cool looking but you have to have a spark plug in your exhaust pipes messing with flow and you probably waist a lot of gas doing it.

PS- It would probably acheive the best wow effect on a geo metro or something like that.

Bragging about having a car that makes flames is silly anyways, don't you think? Everyone will always want to see it.
I'd prefer to have people tell ME my car shoots flames, rather than the other way around.
Santiago - People who run spark plugs in their exhaust usually run a line of propane into the tip as well.
And for the record, on a geo, it would have the most "Wow, that's gay." factor.

About the flames thing. my car is a 87 n/a no cats(straight pipe ) just put some free flowing mufflers on it.
now whenever I shift at full throttle I get LOUD pops. just accelerating with these mufflers are lout as hell but the pops are defening. Is this flame or just black smoke
I cant tell. Also I am about to install a header as well and I was wondering if that would be TOO free flowing for my car because I have heard about the s4's need some backpressure to open the port acutors. With that said, the muffler shop in my town says those ports are located in the exhaust manifold, so if i put a header in place of the manifold I should have no worries right?. If anyone has done something similar to what I want to do please reply to this or private message me with some good reliable info. my apoligies to the thread starter for getting a little off subject.

you should have asked this question 3 YEARS AGO!!! look at the date people!
BTW there is a write-up on the archives on how to open the aux ports on S4's with the airpump.
and the 5/6 ports are in the lower intake mainfold, NOT in the exhaust manifold Like Sam mention on the previous post.
