I used to drive a '57 DeSoto with dual exhaust outlets in the bumper. The piston rings were none too good, so the car would emit billows of opaque smoke if I depressed the clutch and gunned it a few times. This was special fun with Fords because they used to take ventilation air through hoses either side of the radiator. I have often wondered if a means of injecting oil to the intake manifold would get the same results.
