drill a hole, thread a spark plug in, run a wire to a switch, then to the battery
would that work?

buy a cheap ignition coil... hook it up to a switch..... put a kill switch on your current ignition coil (make a switch box and put the 2 switches right next to each other)... wire the cheap coil to your spark plug on your exhaust... spark side of the plug must be aiming towards the top if you mount it on the bottom... gut your cat..... now warm up your engine a bit...... make sure theres no one behind you...
rev that bitch up real high... and press and hold both switches at the same time.... and happy fourth of july...

In theory: your car is running, and you rev it... more fuel gets injected as your reving... then you sudenlly kill the ignition.. fuel is still beeing injected and then expelled by the piston as the engine is still rotating... the pressure of the pistons will force the gas out through the tailpipe with force with the ignition still off press the button to activate the sparkplug and when the fuel exits the pipe the spark should light it up.

ps... for best results make sure you muffler is grounded well... and try to kill your ignition before activating the exhaust spark..... as to allow the pistons to force the unburnt gas out of the exhaust...

this is how the plug should be installed on the exhaust tip

if you need more info just ask...

this is for a flamethrower on a car... they sell these kits online... but you can make your own if you have some creativity and spare parts lying around....

Re:Flames,and Back firing
 
well i hate to tell you this but your gonna have to drill a hole on your exhaust tip thats big enough to fit the screw side of a spark plug.... its best if you mount the spark plug as close as you can get it to the exhaust outlet... this way it will light it up easier... (just like when you get a lighter and hairspray... it seams to make a bigger flame when you put it right next to the nozzle as apposed to a few inches away) i got this idea from reading some anarchy posts a while back... they say its nice to have when people are ------- with you while your driving (tailgaters) personally i prefer carrying a brick in the car... its amazing what a brick will do to someones radiator at 80MpH...
