Default Urgent question

Can you mount the spark plug for a flamer kit before the backbox as opposed to normally in the tailpipe.

Would this damage the box if i did?

I dont know for sure, but wouldn't the baffles be fried if subjected to a flame rather than just gasses?

Why would you want to do that?

I'm not sure mate, though I don't think it would as you need about 2-5% gas/air mixture to form a combustible state, being that far into the exhaust may be too rich as there may no be enough oxygen.

One little problem, I forgot to take your flamer to Tiny's lastnight
