Is is possible for snow filled exhaust tips (snow PACKED exhaust tips, actually) to cause an engine fire? How about in conjunction with lots of free revving/ wheel spinning?

Re: exhaust restriction causing engine fire?
it could definitely aggravate a problem, but i doubt it was the primary cause.
can you tell what caught fire, or where in the engine compartment the flames
were at? or did you just see a bunch of smoke?

An engine will not run if exhaust pipe is clugged up.
Dirty trick we use to do to people we didn't like in early teenage years.
Take a regular potato and smash it onto a tailpipe as hard as you can so pressure won't blow it off....car won't start
