It was actually about cars and not just dicking around. | |

Question. What did Lamborghini do to the Aventador to make blue flames come out the back, is there a tank of Butane hidden somewhere?

Wouldn't be legal buddy.
Flamer kits are for show use only they aren't allowed on the public highway. | |

I've seen the kit where you weld a boss to the exhaust & fit spark plug so it ignites the unburnt fuel on the overrun, but I've never seen blue flames just yellow ones.   | |

The blue flames will be due to the engine being closer to the exhaust exit. | |
