   I was thinking of buying one of these for a laugh, and wondered if anyone had any experience with them and knew if they damaged your exhaust or anything...

   for a start your car doesnt put out enough unburnt fuel to 'produce huge flames, up to 6ft' as the bullshit ad says, secondly it's very illegal. thirdly, it's wank, impressive on a 400bhp cosworth not quite so much on a saxo vtr.

   Surely its legal on private land, Just not for road use lmao...
   
   Ofc it would work on my car, not sounding but my car is straight through (only silencer being backbox) and its always spitting and popping when the throttle is released so isnt that unburnt fuel?

   what i don't understand is that flame kits are illegal, but scoobies with badass flames blasting out the zorst are legal, as the flames are a result of the turbo!? just dont get it?

   i have seen a saxo vtr with a decat and that put out 1-3ft flames so it does work but like u say not the 6ft that they normally state, i had a flamer kit on my punto turbo and that gave out 2-4ft flames but i then had a add on kit that injected butane into the exhaust once the flame had started that made it up to 6ft, mid u think was about 4 years ago when flamers were new on the scene
   
   here is a vtr flaming:

    Still illegal though as it'll not be passing an emisions test!

    y will it not pass emissions test, there only a bolt on, they only work when ignition module turned on, all it does is kill engine ignition, and that overflow of fuels is burnt by a spark plug at end of exhaust, how will it fail emissions!! sin one on a 1.2 nova luks good for first 5min then gets a bit boring!!

    I was more thinking of the flames on the scooby, which are generally caused by the antilag. Burning neat fuel is nto enviromentally very good either way!
