After speaking to Mikey we are selling the Flamer Kits at a special scoobynet price of £80 if they are bought in bulk through him. In the mean time here are a couple of pictures to wet your appetite.

Actually does look interesting! Anyone already installed one or are they easy to install - from the site I assume you have to bore into the back box.
[Tony from SCC] - Are they hard to fit DIY & what are the recommendations to do so?
Regards
Johny.

Hello again peeps
OK I've spoken to Tony and the following Info was gleaned:
1) The kit comes complete with full fitting instructions
2) The hardest part is getting a boss welded into the tailpipe. This boss essentially provides the spark plug with something to engage it's thread into and also provides the earthing point. The boss is INCLUDED in the kit.
3) With the exhaust done (Boss welded in place) is should take no more than 45 mins to fit (Dependent on how thorough you are with the wiring)
As regards to how the Law look at these things i don't know but more importantly and, i think, significantly, coppers don't know either. I called 4 stations, a traffic department (As it used to be) and even tried DVLA (DLVC). No one knew
To that end, i suppose it's a case of using it sensibly i.e NOT when there's a copper right behind you or outside schools or anywhere that the Anti-Fun lobby can have a go. There are plenty of places where fun can be had ,Scoob meets, country lanes at night, tail gaiters, Cruisin', etc. and because it's switchable, it means that YOU are in control of it and as such, if you get pulled by the coppers, it's probably gonna be your fault!!
Has that concept ever made someone NOT buy a decatted exhaust i wonder Now they ARE illegal but life goes on
Hope that cleared a few issues up, Who else want's one ?

LIST SOFAR
1) Me
2) MONEY
3) Dan the man
4) SIWRX
5) Hol
6) Jonny Gav
7) Stevenuk300
8) Andy Porter
Nearly there C'mon dudes, 800 views and 8 takers is that because:
1) Still too expensive
2) A step too far
3) Lack of understanding regarding the product (Seriously)
I know flames out of a scoob is a cool thing, i remember starting a HUGE thread about the quest for flames and discovered that after noise and power, flames were the next most poular reason to go fully decatted.
I personally was not that impressed with the flaming ability of my car. Loads of pops, bangs hisses etc but the flames were random and only after the car had been "spirited" along (or i'd accidentally hit the rev limiter ) I can't wait for the option to turn them on or off
De-cat Random flames, Induction kit random flames, VTA dump valve random flames, Lots of dosh random flames. I figure that another £80 isn't gonna kill me and when i'm bored.........sell it and get the hole welded shut

I'm still a whole lot of sceptical when it comes to putting a hole in my lovely Magnex. Is there any videos of the product in action on a Scoob? Wanna see before i buy.

As far as I'm concerned you just can't have enough fire!!
So put me down for a kit.
Is everyone going to fit these themselves or a mass flamer fitting session? Personally don't have a MIG welder in the garage....
Mickey when do you think this purchase will go ahead? Once I decide I want somthing I just can't cope with waiting
