Has anybody tried to instal a flamethrower kit on their car? i saw this cool clip on youtube
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdTf1LndrMA&feature=related
I was wondering if it messes up the engine since it keeps shutting it off and on fast

and they have alot of kits on ebay, for pretty cheap

Is this a serious question? Cause I can't tell. Let me just say that these are the most pointless things you can do to your car. But if you wanna melt your bumper off then go right ahead.

They shouldnt be used in fuel injected cars (they will mess up the o2 sensor and catalytic converter). they draw raw fuel from the cylinders (by delaying the spark firing and momentarily shuting off the engine) and force it into the exahust chamber, which does reduce engine and oil life. cool mod tho, but not recomended unless its a show car.

Doesn't work on cars with cats or fuel injection unless that cat isn't doing it's job because it's job is to burn leftover fuel, basically. Yes the cat does more but there shouldn't be any unburnt fuel with one on. Old carburetor cars and trucks are a much better candidate for a flame thrower kit. This is what I believe, doesn't mean you couldn't put a spark plug and injector in the back of your exhaust and have fun.... but not a mod I'd do on a car with such a nice paint job. I like my paint.

Give it time your paint will peel and bubble off just like everybody's does. They look nice for a little while but they all turn out the same way.
