Click here If you have trouble searching JBO (I have trouble sometimes) you are better off using google or what ever outside search engine you prefer. Hope this helps.

didnt know exactly where to put this....so i put it where the exhaust threads were...sry....feel free to move it where it belongs....

ive looked at the sites but i didnt know if there was anyone on JBO with them who could tell me about the manufaturers.

im thinking about if diffrent sparks make diffrent flames [blue flames, huge orange flames ect] or if it all had to do with how ur exhaust is ran. with the cat or what? im looking for smaller blue flames that disappear quickly...

spark plugs will have no effect on the color of flame or anything. If you have a cat you will kill it real quick if your adding fuel in front of it (or by richening the @!#$ out of the engine) either way upi will not got small blue flames then end quick, you will either have fire place looking fire or you wont

The different colors you see in the movies is created with different types of gases that are injected into the exaust near the end and then ignited with a spark plug or similar ignition.. One note.. they are dangerous for a few reasons.. one.. you could blow up if it actually ever leads back to the tank of gas (assuming you are using one) Second.. you could very well catch the car on fire.... and three... chances are if you do use one.. you will melt the rear bumper near the exaust..

IMO it is not worth it...

Back when I worked for Midas, my boss and I hooked up a homemade flamethrower setup on an old T-Bird. We ran a trigger wire and a switch off the distributor for the coils that were mounted under the bumper. They were hooked to spark plugs that we welded into the exhaust tips. Of course the car had no cat so the guy who owned the car ran the carb two jets too rich and when she loaded up he would hit the switch, slam the gas and WHOOOF! Four footers out the tail. Try flamekitz.com for some interesting ideas.
