Because that's a badass supra that looks pretty cool. But because it was a huge feature in 2f2f i'm not so big on it, because i'm sure everyone and their brother is making their car do that too, lol. Definately looks badass on that supra. I can picture my little s13 doing that, lol

one little flaw with your chemistry though... colors through temperature works to a point.... but the way they did it in 2f2f, atleast an easier way... would be the same way they do it with fireworks... throw some magnesium(blue) or lithium(red) in there... exactly how you would get it to do that... i don't know... cause having other elements in there could seriously **** up the exhaust if a chemical reaction between the exhaust piping and the magnesium, lets say, actually happens... i'm not a chemistry major(or minor) but I am extremely serious about my studies towards it....

Lol, got the chemisty kit out and testing this theroy

you wana shoot flames?
get a misfire system.
like the bee-r unit.
RUN RICH with no cat
or an apex'i/blitz fuel control unit.
run rich at or near max rpm.
run test pipe.
extra fuel hits hot exhaust piping, ignites, flames come out tailpipe....
easy as that.
stock KA?
remove cat, turn up fuel pressure
bo0m , you have flame
forget the extra spark plug ****

u gotta be careful with the run rich take of the cat idea... When the gas hits the hot pipe and ignites there is a chance that the explosion puts tons of back pressure on the valvetrain possably messing it up.

FYI in the fast and the fuious they used propane. ever seen a hot air baloon take off? same stuff. just put a jet into the muffler and a spark plug. but what they were trying to recreate was a backfire type effect due to running rich.

Okay, I am glad you all like the pics.
First of all, that flame thrower was installed on his car long before they thought about making fast and furious. I don't know why when someone has a flamethrower on their car someone has to think they got it from there.
Second, it's made from a spark plug drilled into a N1 exhaust system at the tip. From their a series of wires are hooking up the spark plug to a constant coil pack. On the coil pack he had to run a ground and another line to a switch. After flipping a switch he then loads up the exhaust with fuel by revving at a constant interval around 3500 rpms. If you have an air fuel ratio gauge try it and you'll see what I mean.
