Default Flame Thrower Kit Idea?

So for awhile i've been thinking of adding a flame thrower kit, but I can't seem to find any forums on here. Has anyone installed a kit on there crossfire before? If so what brand and could you send me a picture i'm not sure how it would turn out so I was hoping to see pictures and hear thoughts of it before I throw one on and it turn to to look stupid.
Maybe it's just me but the thought of flames spitting out of my cars exhaust and letting the flowmaster roar just really gets me going.

1. Most flame kits ( that I Googled ) work only on V8 cars WITHOUT catalytic converters, unless you opt for 'injection', which can get really dangerous.
2. You don't have a V8, and it is illegal to run without catalytic converters in most states anyway.
3. You had best carefully check your state's laws for this.
4. Be aware : ther rear bumper cover is PLASTIC !
5. You would be better off spending your $$$ on something else.
Here's an idea : mount titanium plates on electric or hydraulic arms on each side so you can lower them to the pavement and make showers of sparks that are sure to make all the kiddies marvel.

This may be doable by you with some help. Nobody I know here has had this desire, so you are on your own. Write a 'How To' when you are done, with pictures naturally as it might impress some.

Have you given up on the idea of doing a V-8 transplant? Did you get any help in changing the color of the trunk light bulb?

I might try the flame thrower but I never though of the titanium plate method that's pretty interesting and yes i've changed the trunk light to blue awhile back. As far as my engine. I've found a srt-6 crossfire engine for 3.5k with 70k miles so I figured I'd swap them and then do a eurocharge. I do wish i could find a better price on a srt-6 engine how ever.

SRT6 engine into an N/A ?
Don't even want to go there.
1. Transmission is different.
2. Differential is different.
3. electronics are different.
4. instrument cluster is different.
And I'm sure I overlooked some other things.

No problem to this 16 or 17 year old.
Easier just to buy the SRT though.

Then again you have to ask yourself "How hard can it be?'
You buy an SRT and swap all the necessary parts to the alabaster and the unwanted parts to the donor car and resell it if you can or part it out.

Depending on the year the ABS is totally different from the '04 ......they made a significant change for the '05 model and the wiring would need changed as well as the fuse box etc are different.......been there did that....... 3 months and some major headaches but It works. I can say I'd not do it again and just buy the SRT6 considering the price these days. But the donor car had 7,823 miles and was like brand new with the exception of the passenger side so was a real good deal for me. All told the swap cost me just over 3k and 3 months work.
