Is it illigal to have flamethrowers on your car..?

Is it illigal to have flamethrowers on your car..?


I know it is in California but i am not sure if it is illeagal in every state.

Really..? That would be awesome to get a flamethrower and have it coming out like green or something.

Flamethrowers are illegal on every state

look at this photos http://www.flamethrowers.com.au/photos.htm

wow.. lol that is so cool! lol

look at the flames of this mr2 http://www.cardomain.com/id/bigjeeks

Yeah, she is pretty hot.. i mean.. the flamethrowers that is.

:naughty: :grinyes:

I'm sure it is illegal in all states...there have been some threads throughout AF on this subject...and how you could make one...if you do a search I'm sure you'd find plenty of info...

However I think the general concensus is it is a stupid idea that should be reserved for F&F and videogames...it can hinder performance, be dangerous, etc.

If you really want flames, take off your cat and catback and run open downpipe for a day

so are u angry that pr0ject01 started a new thread :screwy: :lol:

No, I'm not angry, it isn't addressed in the FAQ, so I don't mind...I'm simply too lazy to do the search for him and find all the past threads...

However, I do recommend using the FAQ and search feature when possible

I'm very curious about how its ignited, I bet I could set one up for realy cheep if I could figure that out.

In those threads, they extended a spark plug down to the exhaust

I wonder if shooting higly flamable vapor into the the exhaust farther up would heat it enough to ignite on exiting as soon as it got enough oxygen.

Most kits disable your spark plugs so you are basicly pumping gas into your exhaust, then when you let off it fires a spark in your exhaust and out shoots the flame. Remove the cats in your exhaust, run a strait through muffler and an open loop BOV and you should shoot flames when shifting at high rpm's

Is that kind of BOV expensive and safe? Whats an example of one?

open look BOV = any blow off vavle that doesnt recirculate. Safe, yes, good for your car, probably not. It makes you run rich after each shift, combine that with very hot exhaust and you have youself some flames. Your car may almost stall when you shift though.

So whats the alternative? And is that safe and economical?

alternative is closed loop, like our stock, dsm 1st gen, greddy type-s

check the faq, for the bov comparison by john monnin, that will explain it all and list examples of both.

Yes, it's highly illegal ;)

i'm curious if it would be possible to rig a system outside your exhaust, but close enough that it looksl ike it's coming from the exhaust?

this might be a safer option, and still be pretty darn cool...

or no?

Yes, it's been done, however, it looked like crap and isn't any safer than using your own tailpipes....

Let's not bring back old threads...
