Oh yeah, about the paint thing. At the angle that it is at it won't take the paint off. and for how far it goes out, too. When I get the Greddy DD exhaust I am going to try it on my car as well. The only thing wrong though is that on a high compression NA you don't want it to fire back into your motor.

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.

There are universal kits for shooting flames out of your exhaust. I got to watch an install on a lowered pickup and it was pretty cool. The prefab kits are designed to work with your ignition system eliminating spark in the combustion chamber and instead light up a spark plug in your tail pipe. When you hit the switch the engine cycles over running extremely rich which in turn makes for some nice flames out the pipes.
The install I saw put the flames out of straightpipes coming out of a the hood of the truck. Admittedly it looked awesome; however, but it didnt really appeal to me.

yeah, I have an 86 RX7 and if I ramp it up good and then let it fall back to idle, it'll spit flames out of the pipes (dual exhaust) much like that supra. I know that its running a bit rich, cause I adjusted it that way a while back.
