You know how all of the car boards were inundated with "Can I put nitrous in my (insert car here)?" after the first F&F movie? That reall y cracked me up - especially on the Audiworld forums - regular people who wouldn't normally even change their air filter were put under the spell of NOS and were asking how to get a 100 shot in their A4...lol I wonder what the next thing will be... My guess based on the trailer is "flamethrower" tailpipe mods...



but who knows - maybe it will be fuzzy pink S2000 bodykits...

I think it's because its use in the movie finally convinced others than when installed correctly, its a bang for the buck award. The nitrous ignorance across the board is astonishing sometimes.

i don't know about that - i think its use in the movie was about as realistic as the last Lord of the Rings movie. The real question is how many ricers now have old laptops jammed under the seat cushions of civics?

DANGER! MANIFOLD PRESSURE WARNING!!! lol... I'd sooner believe the short guy in the cube next to me is really a Hobbit.

Actually, if I recall correctly...someone on did ask about how to make flames come out of their exhaust tips. I'm not into all that crazy stuff, but some people have some crazy taste

Nah...I don't think there could be any nasty repercusions to adding what amounts to a flamethrower to the back of your car. It's a safety add-on, actually since it increases your visibility, just like that 3rd brake light. And the LEO's love it!

I still think that it would be cool to wire them into your turn indicators/brake lights though. You can be sure no one will tailgate.

Flames coming out of your tail piples sounds illegal to me.
