Flames won't deter tailgaters. They'll just put up their asbestos shields. :rolleyes:


I do know one thing flames are good for...:lol2:

What people think I don't care

The comment about jail I thank you, I did not know that I didn't think it would be such a big deal.

The pros and cons were more to ensure I would not damage by RX8

But please do continue commenting I love reading all the comments specially the smart ass and sarcastic ones

I think the reason you are getting so many sarcastic comments is because there are no prons or cons besides the obvious ones.

Any mod you add to the 8 (or any car) will eventually have a negative effect. Fire is probably one of the more damaging things that you could expose anything to.

Screw messing around with your exhaust.. I say install a Friggin' Jet Enginge in your trunk man!! :rock: So when like a STI or EVO pulls up to you and revs their engine you can take 'em on the line screaming "EAT MEH FLAMERZ BAZNITCHES!" :rollingla

An AT-4 would be cheaper than a jet engine. You'll shoot flames and can pwn any car without even leaving the starting line!!!!!!

Hey Munche
I don't think you're going to get much positive response on this. If you want to install the kit, go ahead. According to the web site the kit is safe "Our kits are specifically designed to help you shoot flames from your exhaust without a complex installation and without damage to your vehicle."
If your car is under warranty I would think you might want to think twice before installing it and I would check w/my insurance co. to find out if I would be covered if something "goes wrong".
I might also contact the manufacturer and find out what their liability policy - I imagine they will take no responsibility - is.
I honestly don't mean this to be personal, and maybe it's just because I'm older, but this thing just looks ridiculous to me. Why would I want flames coming out of my exhaust?

I'm pretty sure he voided his warranty when the SC was installed.

Ah, but you are wrong great wise one - see it says so right here -
" As with any performance auto part, an exhaust flamethrower needs to be installed and used with caution in order to protect those around your vehicle. "

well in relation to the flames.....dumb idea. I natuarlly have flames come out and they MELT YOUR REAR BUMPER....they are full of shit if they say nothing will happen to your car. If you believe them remember they are trying to sell you something.

My flames only come out periodiaclly with high revs and intense shifting at 9k + RPMS

Defintely cool to look back and literally burn your opponent with your flames. The longest reported flames I have shot was about 2-3 feet of fire out both tips.....everyonce in a while I need to buff and DEGREASE my rear bumper becasue of the flames burning and leaving a residue on my bumper.

FLAME ON!

the flames would melt your rear bumper, this picture was taked before
I extended 1 or 2 inches my Borla exhaust, once I extended and until now the flames don't melt the bumper............

Your shootin flames with just a different catback? check my sig and i dont think i shot any flames, but of course what sound does it make when u do?

BluMonstrRX8
06-11-2007, 01:02 PM
Well if you check his sig he has a 3 rotor......If you are refering to me well look at my avatar

but a midpipe and a little fuel enrichment will do the trick!

I have the Greddy SP2 and it shoots flames occasionally. Not bad enough that it melts my bumper, and I have to clean the soot off of my tips every week.

As far as flame kits go, lets leave that to the 130hp civics shall we?

Remove Cat and replace cat-back...you'll be shooting flames in no time...

Leaves residue tho...and a bitch to clean off...

I personally looked into the flame thrower kit idea. Even bought the kit itself from eatmyflames.com

Well...after doing that, I researched a little more before putting it on, found out it would ruin my CAT and burn up my O2 censor among other things. Plus, it just isn't good for the car. I have since scrapped the idea.

Too bad you didnt personally do research in the one place that might actually give you good information...

Instead of spending money on that ricer kit you should have removed your cat and swapped out your muffler...

If you wanted to go the extra mile get an Interceptor-X and tell it to run rich...

ya... I run with a mid pipe and it's really fun... Gives you something else too pay attention too while driving... That *poof* sound is fire... So... who got that fire?

It came with the Pettit Stage II S/C

The falme thrower kit Idea has been modified.

Since I have the Interceptor-X I am adding the RB Mid Pipe and REV8 Exhaust.

It's funny this thread is still alive.

I would go with the Agency Power setup as it comes with a midpipe and is a full 3" setup with the tips slightly protruding...

Then tell the Interceptor to run a little rich...flame-on!

Yeah but that is way louder than the RB setup.
I have to drive clients sometimes.

This is true...however in rebuttal...

You would be driving a client in a SC RX-8...it SHOULD be loud...in the event you want to tell them to STFU, you can simply find an excuse to accelerate...

what muffler are you using? :)

Agency Power exhaust with a Dynomax resonator/muffler. Just installed the resonator today... Sounds mean, I know it'll sound deeper/meaner within the next couple of days...

Either way, I like the Agency Power exhaust because of the obnoxiously big tips, and ability too dispel fire at will.
