Take starting fluid, spray in exhaust pipe, roll camera, light 'er up.

God, how I love the F&TF!

You might want to stand back about 10 feet or you'll need a new set of eyebrows.

its caused by excess fuel that didn't get burned blowing out the motor when you let of the gas. common in cars with free flowing exhaust.

Fire out of the exhaust of FD's? I never heard of that one. Usually the fire comes out of the engine bay.

if you have a straight through exhuast you should be shooting flames with no problems.

man this **** pisses me off. If your car blows flames through engine & exhaust mods then fine.... that's cool, but these ***** that put sparks plugs in the exhaust are just a sad bunch of muppets!!!

Go to a Civic forum... I'm sure they've got a FAQ on the installation!

It's what you use when you are have no idea why your car won't start. Spray it in the intake and let your starter grind for - oh - say 2 minutes while you sit there getting pissed and more pissed. By this time it has dissolved all the oil on the walls of the housings, so now you are running metal on metal. Any O rings have just had their life cut in half since it attacks Nitrile rubber with a vengeance.

You now have a car that still will not start, and your wallet has been lightened by several thousand dollars.

(but seriously, living in Hawaii I understand why you've never heard of it. It's fairly common in cold country.
It's spray Ether!)

AND it really does create awesome flames!But don't try this at home kids, it's a great way to burn down the 'ol house, and blow your head off at the same time!

Does shooting flames damage your exhust?

Well I never did that before and kind of scare of doing that because it might damage my exhust. Does it damage your exhust or your cat-converter or your engine or all of them. I don't knoe because I have never try it before.

My flames are usually in tandem with a really loud shotgun gun sound that scares the bejesus out of those behind me.

There's nothin like shootin flames when riding under a bridge.

This thread has a very good explanation. If your a Rotory all ya need is big exhaust. If you got pistons I recommend runnin' really rich and downshiftin' all lot. Use to do it all the time in my Talon, with the 1-2 shift "no lift". Still working on it in the Volvo.

Talking

This is also known as a backfire, when some unburned fuel goes out with the exhaust and get's "lit up" by the exhaust heat and it happens so fast that the flames are from the gas "exploding" causing that loud BANG! Now that would make me **** my pants if I was sitting behind you and it happened at a light unless I could do it too. LOL, o wait now I can YAY!
