LOL thanks for the advice. I'm not going to install it on my car i'm just curious. You know. I'm the type of guy who reads Steven Hawking books about metaphysics just to read them. I just like to know how things work. It doesnt mean i'm going to invent a time travel machine haha

well, if you wanna know how it works it is basically just an ignitor that creates a spark in your echaust and burns the excess fuel. i dont even know what this guy is selling because the only part you relly need is the ignitor and he says in the auction that you have to buy that yourself. i would bet 10:1 that if you did this on your stock civic that nothing would happen. the civic runs very lean with little excess fuel and there would be nothing to burn. only way you could get this to work is to either remove the cat which might not help much, or the best way would be to get an air/fuel controller and run a rich fuel setup. all you have to do is run rich and then buy a gas grill ignitor put that inside the car and attach some wires to it and run the wires inside the exhaust to ignite the excess fuel you will be running. it is a very stupid and possibly dangerous thing to do.

I heard that you can drill a hole through the cylinder wall and install another spark plug and a little gas squirter to make a flamethrower kit. No not really-dont try this. OH i love in the fast and furious how they shoot flames out the back of the car that are the same colour as the cars.

According to the old Anarchist's Cookbook, installing two spark plugs at 45-deg offsets from the top of the pipe and drilling 4 holes at 90 degrees then running wires from the plugs to the battery and to a switch would do it too - the 90-deg holes create enough airflow thru the pipe so you don't create a backdraft in the pipe and have the flame rush up into the header, which I'm quite sure would ruin almost anyone's day.
