Question flame thrower?

ok guys.. ive got a question.. i know how 7's hate backpressure and i was just thinking about getting an exhaust cut-out.. where i can have both one side running to my reg exhaust (gutted cat and greddy evo exhaust) and then for track time and just to scare people i was thinkina bout runnin off the other side of the cut-out two pipes.. have one comming out behind each of my front tires.. therefore.. say sumone pulls up to run me.. no one else around.. i can flip the switch .. make sum noise and dissapear with flames shootin.. .this is just a thought.. i thought id be good to have at the track and fun for scareing people.. any feedback will be appreciated..

I would think setting up the swtiching and doors would be hard to setup

i've had the switching door cut out, it sucks...doesn't hold in place for crap, it rattles and has a leak all the time

your car will never sound as it does now with the cut off closed....

bad idea

i accually dont think it'll be that hard.. the hardest will be runnin the piping but the switching doors comes in a kit .. you can get either electric where you just push a button or a manual where you pull a tab.. if i decide to do it i'll post sum pics and tell how it went

i could not find the site someone else posted quite a while ago, but i think a few small companies do have very elaborate systems to open your exhaust at the push of a button.
this one looks pretty cool if your in to that sort of thing

hrmmm... I'm hesitant to melt my rear bumper, let alone the sides of the car. Still, I love sidepipes, i'd like to see how it turns out.
