I used to do this with my Plymouth Horizon.  Did it 3 times, the third blew 
the muffler wide open, oops!  As for devices, like spark plugs in the tail 
pipe, these are illegal in most states.  It is darn hard to try and convince 
any officer  that this is "original equipment" or some sort of emmision 
reducing device!
