Why would you want to risk blowing up the exhaust system if not blowing up the engine too?

take a look at a unit called the BEE-R limiter or something like that...will run you bout $300 it cuts ignition so you can shoot flames..it is supposed to help build boost when drag racing but not sure how that is supposed to work...ignition cut is better than fuel cut and will(should not) harm the motor...this is the same way a rev limiter works..basically that is what the bee r thing does..you can set it to what rpm you want and floor it and then at XXXXrpm it will cut ignition...rpm's will drop below the set point and then the motor will rev again..repeat the above step again and again...then you will get flames due to the fuel build up or just hear a POP noise(VERY ******* LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) if you do not have a full race exhaust...there is a guy with a VW Turbo that has one and the guy that stages them almost had a heart attack the 1st stime he drove up and floored it and BAM!...but flames would be better...good luck playing around you'll grow out of it..hmm...nah..we never do

If you care this much, there are kits that allow you to shoot flames...But many of them cut the ignition and are designed for use with carbs. Your FC should shoot flames just fine in stock form once you open up the exhaust...

Flames CAN be fun sometimes. I put a spark plug (ran from an in-cab HV generator) in the muffler of my 1st gen. Pump the throttle a few times, flick the switch and watch tailgaters disappear.
