How to shoot flames from exhaust!

Building a Hot Rod? Set it off with flames and scare other cars away. This is illegal in some places.

Things You'll Need

  • 8g black wire
  • 8g red wire
  • sparkplug cord
  • grinder
  • switch
  • 2 parkplugs per exhaust
  • This can only be done to big block (V8)engines. You can't do this to 4 cylinder engines unless it has nitrous oxide, these NOS systems are illegal; if you have a NOS system and you add the flame effect you will create colorful flames.

  • Raise and support your vehicle using the proper jack stands.

  • Cut out your muffler and catalytic converter if you have them and install a straight exhaust pipe were it's needed.

  • Grind an area on your exhaust before the headers to clear rust for a clean surface and drill a small hole in the tiny area you cleared. Insert a small screw with a piece of black wire and attach the other end to your chassis using the same method.

  • Repeat step 4 half way down your exhaust toward the tail pipe.

  • Grind all around the pipe 8 inches from your exhaust tip(s). Mark tubing in half for measuring. On both halves of your exhaust mark a circle almost the same size of your spark plugs. Drill these holes out using the proper bit.

  • If You drilled your holes correctly you now should be able to screw in both of your plugs with out a leak or slippage.

  • Using a light inside the tail pipe make sure your plug fingers are open toward the back of your vehicle.

  • Attach a spark-plug cord to each plug and at the opposite end of each cord attach a red wire. If you have multiple wires you will need a collection box to make them all into one big one.

  • Trail a long red wire from your collection box into your cabin and connect it to the (-) portion of your switch.

  • Install your switch somewhere in your vehicle that makes you comfortable.

  • Connect a second long red wire to the (+) portion of your switch and lead it to your fuse box and plug it into the (batt 1) spot, or if you want to make it easier you can plug this wire straight to your positive terminal on your battery.

  • That's all it is to it. With the proper ground and proper power source this system will shoot flames. The spark plugs ignite the carbons in your engines waste which causes flames.
