Has anyone ever installed one on their Cherokee...or any other vehicle of theirs?

I've got one on my sportbike, and I have several friends with the kits installed. They work great, are neat little toys for showing off, and are fairly easy to install.

I noticed that there is only one or two places to buy them online, they are far from complete, and seem to be a touch expensive.

I can produce them on a large scale, and in a more complete kit than any I've seen for less than what I've seen online.

So, I'm posting this to see if it'd be worth my time to produce these and offer for sale here.

Would anyone be interested? If enough respond, I'll post up a for sale thread with prices and pics!

****Obviously this is an "install at your own risk" kit, and are intended only for off road use, not intended for on road vehicles for obvious reasons.

Not a dumb question, some don't know.

Exactly.

You flip a switch, press a button, and shoot flames. Usually a few feet out of the pipe.

Sorta.

You cut the spark at the plugs and put it to the plug in the tail pipe.

There is a VERY small chance of cylider wash, but these have been installed on cars, trucks, and motorcycles for years with very, very few cases. So few, I've never heard of a kit actually causing issues.

And I meant to put this in "Chat" not tech, although with the explinations given it may as well be.

In some, but very few.

That way is waaaay more expensive, waaaay more dangerous, and, well, just not needed.

See above.

I've had the kit on my sportbike for about 5 years now. Never once had any police officer ask anything about it. But I'm also not a moron who shoots flames while flying down the freeway.

If you are out on the trail, in your back yard, or parking lot with friends, this kit would be sex.

Just picture it, your there at your local Jeep meet. Hanging out. Then out of nowhere someone is shooting big bright flames out of their exhaust.

Pretty slick.

Now that would be awesome!!! haha. But the trails and fire coming out of your tailpipe No Good.. Tree huggers would love to see that so they could shut some more up. Just like spark arresters on four wheelers
