So could I take a hollowed out muffler, cap one
end, fill it with some iron oxide, cellulose
butyrate acetate, and powdered alumin(i)um,
attach it to a 4 inch (10 cm) exhaust pipe with
appropriate venturi/nozzle, bolt it under the
car (feigning dual exhausts) and use it to
supplement my turbo for those special occasions?

How would I light it off? Spark plug? Bosch?
Platinum?
