!cats mod with headers and !mufflers should do the trick.....
the ferrari does that without a kit, or at least my friends dad 430 shoots flames like that when you romp it

!cat and !mufflers simply mean delete cats and mufflers. !X = delete X
I've seen a vid of an LT1 bird (no kit to the best of my knowledge) shooting the same type of flame in the Miami Vice movie. I think all that he had done was what SS4Luck mentioned.

the only way to shoot flames like that is 1. some sort of ignition source, and 2. some sort of fuel source. If someones car is doing that naturally, its running WAY too rich and is going to hurt itself. Old time rodders would put a spark plug in the tail pipe, then choke the car out to make it run rich as hell when they wanted the flames. Since you can't choke out a FI car really, most modern kits have some sort of alternate fuel source like propane.
I have run my old LT1 with shorty headers and a O/R Y-pipe only, and sorry no flames shooting out. It was insanely loud though...

Yeah I have a true dual setup with pacesetter mufflers and no cats and at night all my friends drive behind me so they can see the huge flame that shots out. If I look out the back at the right time I can see the ground light up. Its kinda cool.

Hell I'd like to see flames coming out of mine but I don't see how you would do it if your engine was running just right, maybe I just don't know anything
, unless my twisties are somehow causing it to not but I don't see how, twisties aren't very restrictive.

Hooker LTs to a Y-pipe with the cutout open I've been told I occasionally have a huge flame shoot out when shifting or letting off the gas at high rmp. I know i'm running rich for some reason, but the LT1 in my car is getting taken out soon so whatever

Maybe it's something you LT1 guys have up your sleeves then, cause it ain't working here. Too bad, I'd love to see flames shoot out from under my car with them dumped before the axles, it would be neat

I have no cats and only half the exhaust goes through the muffler and I raced a guy once and he said that I shot flames out while shifting hard but I want a blue small flame like miami vice.... not a 10 foot flame thrower
You know whats cool? The flames that shoot out of the Corvette C6-R and other ALMS cars. Those suckers are huge!

Maybe sell your car and go to the army surplus store to get a flamethrower? Why would you WANT your car to shoot flames? Just my opinion, but use your time and money on something more worthwhile.
