The old flame throwers out the exhaust

i am not sure were to ask this.

also please note I DO nOT WANT TO DO THIS, and i think it is rice city, my friend asked if it would work, and i am not sure so0o0o0o

my rx8 has a midpipe, and catback, if i would mount spark plugs near the end, in the tips and hit them off while driving, would it shoot flames, or no?

again i do not want to do this, i am just wondering if the fumes from the exhaust would ignite, and shoot a steady flame.

It probably will be dissapointing. To do it right you either use a fuel injector and a spark plug or temporarily richen the fuel mixture while lighting it off.

It is also very illegal to do this on the street anywhere in the USA.

My 05 RX-8 would sometimes shoot a small flame out the exhaust if I let off above 8000rpm under load.

It had a supercat and OBX cat-back.
