<A HREF="http://backwoods-auto.50megs.com/howtoflame.html" TARGET=_blank>http://backwoods-auto.50megs.com/howtoflame.html</A> <P>this web page is about aking a flamethrower out of a muffler. Do you think it would be harmfull for the engine? Do you think it could work on a low emission car like an mx-3?

Well, I don't think it'll work on any car with a properly working emision system. If you have your car emisioned you can find out how much unburned stuff is in there, but you don't get much energy from what the cat leaves. You could get around it, but the next time you have your car emisioned they'll notice it in a big way.<P>Besides all that would a flame thrower really look that good? have you considered lights? If you do it the way this guy suggests it only flames for a couple of seconds, and then it can't be while your driving. Street legal mods will get a lot more positive attention instead of attention from the police.
