Hmm

That is just a marketing trick. That fire is from an aftermarket part that fires a spark (or something) that ignites fumes or a gas spray. It doesn't look like that is what this exhaust does.

Re: Hmm

What fire are you talking about? None of those exhausts produce flames. Fireball is just the name of the exhaust, 5Zigen is a very respected tuning company from Japan and the Fireball line is one of their more popular exhausts.

As for the Blitz, they make very good exhausts and parts, so go for it. A little pricey, but Blitz isn't cheap.

I would have to second that. I know other running there setups that have alwasy been VERY happy with them. Good quality stuff but yeah - it is not gonna come cheap. I think Shadow might have meant the fire coming out of the exhaust in this picture. Am I right shadow?

Thrustinj probably meant that picture, but that picture isn't rigged like he things it is. Skyline race cars shoot fire like that. It's what happens with no cats, race gas, and a whole lot of boost. It's a backfire.

Sorry to confuse

There is a product that is sold (can't think of it now) that you can install to produce the fire from the exhaust. That is just one of the ways.

Yeah I have seen it to. Well at least a jimmy rigged version of it using spark plugs and they fire a charge when a switch is hit connecting it to a battery. I am pretty sure that is how they had it set up. And it shoots out a quick flame. Not too long not too much. Would make me nervous though about something going wrong.
