can you do this and if so how?

found I can shoot flames from my a$$.
everytime I downshift upshift or just let off the gas real quick I will let out a puff of flame from my car.
guess this is what I get when I remove the 3 cats from my car.

now onto bigger injectors and a higher flowing fuel pump

can you guys with your piston motors spit the flames?

As a matter of fact my brother was following me home and he said my car does. I knew it always backfired if I held it in second (auto), tached it up a little and then shifted into third without any gas. He said it is pretty cool but I think there is something wrong with my car?? I also have no cats....

Yeah, there is a way to run a spark plug wire on plug forget which thru the exhaust and cause flames to come out. Ever seen Gone in 60 Seconds, one of the older cars does it when they're stealing it.

the time that i was testing my car and was running off the y pipe my brother was at the back and i dont know why but it shot a big flame out?? lol i put the exhaust back on after that in fear i would combust

my brother once was very interested in rx7 and we did a lot of reseach and found that mild modification and taking off all the crap in the exhaust that you could shoot flams, thats one thing i thought pretty cool about rx7

My 67' can do a constant flame when I let off the gas at high speed or drop it into second gear. One hell of a light show at night. It has straight pipes running all the way back to the back end on a 19' car.
