I'm not sure "flames" is the right word for that video - to my eye they're only "flashes". Not as dramatic as the solid flaming ball Jaisin shows.

No offense intended to Diabolical RX8, but those flashes just aren't exciting enough to me to justify the abuse on the car.

Maybe what I'm thinking of are some really sick mods from some TV show on the Speed channel where they actually dumped raw fuel directly into the tail end of the exhaust system and created sustained jets of flame. I remember one brief scene in "Gone in 60 Seconds" where a street rod did that - long jets like twin flame-throwers.

* edited to fix link.
Actually, I bought my midpipe from him. We basically have the same setup; he has the AT, and I have the MT. Mine flashes when you rev it like his, but the flames get big when there is a load on the engine ( as in driving on the road). I am not sure the technical reason for this. The biggest flames are when I am cruising around 45, downshift into second gear, and floor it. They seem to only occur at or around redline.

It sucks that this mod renders the 8 un-inspectable. What states do you guys live in that you can get away with no cats?
