Question Adding High performance Exhaust makes it pop small Fire?

I just have a quick question..

When Some one adds for example a Borla cat back Exhaust pipe on the Rx8,
Does it make the exhaust pipe, shoot smalls ***** of Fire..? or like a poping sound?.. you can say.

You will blow more fire with out a Catalytic Converter. As in catless midpipe. And a Catback exhaust.

yeah.. catless midpipe adds just a touch of fire if you play with the throttle.

Just keep it down around the cops and your fine. I live right down the street from a police station.

I was looking into miss fires and stalling. Someone on here said if your blowing blue flames its due to missfire. You should look into it.

Just a question but why would it be that m/ts easily put out flames, but its near impossible with an auto? Ive taken the catless bandb midpipe route with custom catback for awhile and couldnt get it to happen. I get pops though but no flame...Is it a rpm cutoff issue? Just curious
