Default Exhaust Flames

Hey Guys,
I'm trying to somehow add some exhaust flames like in the old vintage movies. I realize it takes fuel and a spark,along with a switch to feed the fuel and spark! Just wondering if anyone has done it before?

Cheers

because newer cars and bikes no longer have chokes to make the mixture rich enough to burn in the tail pipe people have been using propane plumbed to the tips. spark plugs and an old vibro coil (model t) light them off. just make sure they extend far enough back they don't burn the paint off your saddlebags!

They sell a kit but its not a good idea to run rich enough to have unburnt gas at the end of your exhaust

Just play it safe and leave your bike alone. If you want some flame action, just post some derogatory threads with an oil, helmet, or loud pipes theme.
