Bingo.

Only toolbags put flame throwers on their cars as a "mod".

or...

Only toolbags mod their cars with flame throwing exhaust the desired goal.

or...

Only toolbags are more interested in throwing flames rather than the performance of an exotic.

or...

Only toolbags put flame throwers on their >$200k USD exotic or <$10k USD Neon.

You should just get the same kit on the 430 in the vid you posted.

I just wanted to know this for my fyi. If I wanted my car to shoot flames because thats what I am aiming for then I would't have started this thread in the first place and got a flame thrower kit installed...
