    yeah dont do it as you would be lucky do get a defect for it because its highly illegal to do and i imagine cops would take the car away rather then defect it

    There's 1 or 2 little boxes under your car called catalytic converters. They're there for a reason. They reduce the toxicity of exhaust gas and in turn remove a lot of unburnt fuel and lower the flammability level of the carbon monoxide. Old school pre unleaded cars would ignite because they didn't have the cats back then. There are kits out there that use propane but whats your licence worth??

    Don't worry about what your license is worth, worry what a criminal conviction is worth to you. I'm pretty sure they are classified as a weapon.

    I actually had a guy come in one day about 4 years ago, with a "flame kit" he got from US. Came with spark plug, coil, button, wire, injector, module, and instructions on how to "tap" into the fuel line. I couldn't help but laugh. But no I didn't install it.

    I have heard that injecting a small amount of diesel into the end of the exhaust can produce smoke if your after an effect without the flame.
    Again, probably not legal
