Default Exhaust Flamethrower kit

So I have a 2014 GS350 F-Sport AWD. Was thinking of doing some cool **** to it. Then I came across this Xtreme Exhaust Flamethrower Kit on eBay for $27. Anyone ever play around with it? Any downside? Meaning am I going to blow something up ****ing around with it? Link below.

When you activate the system using the push button switch, the control module will allow the vehicles ignition system to be momentarily interrupted. Unburnt fuel is then allowed to pass through the vehicles exhaust system. When this fuel hits the spark plug(s) mounted in the exhaust tail pipe, flamesare created.
What could possibly go wrong? (Or right?)

I wonder if my extended warranty will cover this debacle?

My best friend in high school made up one of these kits & installed it in the sidepipes on his mustang. While we were out cruising he would have to rev up the engine in neutral to make the carb dump enough gas to light up the mixture. It was cool for a while but sometimes he would have to take off driving to prevent melting the paint. He took it off soon after.
Hopefully this new kit will work much better (Safer)

They've been doing this for years, at least since I was in High School back in the '50s, ya I'm that old. Anyway kids, would hook a spark plug on a swivel to their tailpipe. They would wire it to the distributor, we had them in those days. When the spark was in the down position it would fire, but that was it. But when the cord was pulled from inside the car and the plug was in the path of the hot exhaust, when it would fire it sent out a flame. Was sort funny for awhile, but soon grew tiresome.

This thread brings me back to when I was a kid. To the OP, don't be silly
