Trying to work a few other options as 2.5k wont be allowed just yet the standard system is awful with a nasty 'Y' piece that joins the 2 banks of cylinders into one box before the twin tail pipes. trying to find some exhaust parts so i can do away with the 'Y' and get 2 smaller boxes.

For a flamer to work best, you need a full decat and a VTA dumpvalve.

When you drive hard and change gear, unburnt fuel goes through the exhaust on over-run and a flamer kit ignites this.

Flamers are illegal, but a lot of fun

The flamers I used to make had an illuminated switch, so you know when it's on. Mark_B4 took over the project.

They only become illegal when the officer that pulls you over doesn't believe that it is an overfuelling problem with the car.
