The CAT will also limit the amount of fuel getting as far as the exhaust tip.
A flamer kit is just a sparkplug mounted in the tailpipe (and you need a bloody good drill bit to do that on a stainless pipe) where it leaves the last exhaust silencer. You are then provided with a coil, wiring and a dash switch.
When switched on, the spark plug is continuously fired and therefore should ignite any spare fuel coming out the back. However when you switch it on you can hear the plug firing and it sounds mighty strange, like a high frequency oven/hob lighter.
Come to think of it a cheaper option would be to put the wife in the boot and she can hang out the back with one of these :

Ok Scot what is a antilag map and roughly how much would that cost & would the flames produced be quite large? Also is the antilag map safe on the engine? Also is a flame kit safe to use when the car has a sports cat will it damage the cat?
