You'll need more than 12V to set it off - you'll probably have to wire up an ignition coil and the right circuitry to make it spark. Note that sending 12V DC into a coil won't create a continuous spark. As a transformer it needs an AC components, accomplished in cars by switching the DC on and off (AC from 0-12V in essence).
Previous posters are right in that you'll need to inject extra fuel into the exhaust, not too far from the tailpipe to prevent backfires. Maybe more air as well for oxygen.
Safety will be the greatest problem in any design.
