Thread: Flamethrowers with cut-outs?

Having little prior knowledge of how flamethrowers work and what exactly they involve, posting this thread was one of my first steps to find out information about this system. I did not post this thread to take a poll on whether members thought flamethrowers were "stupid"--I posted it to try to figure out what results I could expect from an "H-Pipe" exhaust system with cut-outs and flamethrowers...

I'll try to be more specific next time so as not to confuse the more zealous members...

I'm a pretty easy-going guy, but flamethrowers really make me wonder.

We spend lots of time, money, blood, sweat and tears getting these cars built, make the wiring and fuel lines - among other things - as safe as possible with quality items, most of us carry a fire extinguisher or two and to add flamethrowers goes beyond my understanding.

Having the flames very close to underneath the door looks very dangerous . . . assuming your cutouts are in the usual place.
Not to mention scorched paint.

And then there's the problem of exiting the car if the flamethrowers don't shut down.


So what is hot rodding all about to you?
Having a good looking, good handling, fast little car or sitting in the parking lot pumping out flames cuz none of the above qualifications were met?

I'm not calling you stupid, but misguided does come to mind.

We both know flamethrowers are not the answer and never have been....
