Default Running at night.

Is it true that you can see the flames coming out of the exhaust if you run at night?

Just some thing someone told me. Does not seem possible.

not unless you're running a hopped up 1:1 motorcycle.

No, you won't see any flames, even w/o the pipe (even though it'd be super cool)

there has to be a way to make flames....maybe like put some kind of ignitor on the tip of your pipe and run your truck just a tad rich and the ignitor catch the excess fuel light it into a flame then the air coming out of the pipe would blow the flame....lol just a thought....

I put a whole system on my go cart as a project. It worked. Give me a minute I'll post some pictures of the system. The Go-Cart is gone though. Sold it to a family. Figured they didn't want a flame throwing exhaust....

I was thinking about it. Since I don't use reverse... Hook it up to a servo when u hit a button a servo hits a switch. Then I use a little fish pump hook that up to the tank and it will squirt it out the back because of a hole in the exhaust (sealed by expoxy) but I don't know what to use to spark it....

Most are but to ignite it you need to press that hard button although I could mod it and make a chip for it.
