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


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

What I was thinking of was more of on the lines of
PHP Code:
http://www.eatmyflames.com/?gclid=COugxaDm0YwCFQglSgodtCBcWQ 
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 *** and sarcastic ones

I think the reason you are getting so many sarcastic comments is because there are no ***** 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!! 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!"

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 **** 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!
