M156 Spitting Flames

Last night I was searching the net for some inspiration for a loud and raunchy sounding exhaust, while still being livable and came upon this gem:


At the 5:30 mark there's footage of the car making the typical snaps and pops BUT with added flames. How 'do-able' is this? Does anyone know any more about this particular car? I believe it's the same car I've seen in other Weistec videos. That grey is so sexy!

Is that a rear mounted turbo?

If you're referring to the close up shot of the underneath, that appears to be an exhaust solenoid of some sort. I'll dig around. Maybe there are more pictures of this beast floating around out there.

Weistec Supercharged. That puts the turbo theory to rest.

More pictures. So, it turns out that, that is an exhaust solenoid. Thus the moniker 'Silence to Violence.' http://www.superstreetonline.com/fea...ries/#photo-01

That's a really weird exhaust setup underneath, since it's not a rear turbo

It becomes nearly ridiculous to put a 'quieter' alternative on the exhaust of what is essentially a racecar. The fabrication is top notch on the exhaust, though. http://www.fabricationlife.com/tag/c...-black-series/

300E / E55 Estate
That was a Seattle car. I heard it got sold last summer.
