messing around with fire from exhaust on Supra!!!
Well, we decided to take a couple of pics of my buddies Supra shooting flames at NOPI. They came out beautifully...check it out!

the ez way...
the way they did it in 2f2f is you run a NOS line to your Kat and place a this spark plug near the end, you press this little button sprays gas and sends eletrical current to plug... and wham... flames... that's how they got differnt colors for flames (chemisty minor mode) differnt chemicals burn at differnt temps. hotter the flames the bluer it is... Lower the temp the reder the flame.. propane burns HOt also NOS has a blueish flame... gas actually burn cooler, so a red flame (red being low end)... that's why we use gas versuse propane for cars...
whoa... think I blanked out there.... what did I want to say... oh yeah...
exsaults should be able to take it, majority of them are with stand high temps. The exsaults (the gases) actually come out at very high temps... and the quick burst of flames shouldnt really raise the temp to high... now a constant flame is another story...
the paint... depends on the angle... again... gases out muffler are hot so if cheap paint and clear... wouldve cracked eventually... if you aim it right, it should only get heat not direct flame.... but I seen a couple cars modded to shoot flames that have a metal guard around that area...
again with the blanking out...
think I'm just gonna get some sleep before it happens again

I wanna be able to do it, but dont run a chemical line... from what I've seen from cars and bikes that shoot flames... you reallly only do it when driving very aggressively. just have to figure out how to tune my car so I can do it.
think it has something to do with fuel to air ratio. you ignite the primed air being released through the kat.... wham... flames.
just a guess though....

yeah thats how i thought they did that... with the spark plug and everything...
one little flaw with your chemistry though... colors through temperature works to a point.... but the way they did it in 2f2f, atleast an easier way... would be the same way they do it with fireworks... throw some magnesium(blue) or lithium(red) in there... exactly how you would get it to do that... i don't know... cause having other elements in there could seriously **** up the exhaust if a chemical reaction between the exhaust piping and the magnesium, lets say, actually happens... i'm not a chemistry major(or minor) but I am extremely serious about my studies towards it....
