My car does the same thing with the cut out open. Its no big deal like said before its just unused fuel being burned through the exhaust.

We were cruising around one night, and I romped first gear from a stop, and when I shifted to 2nd he said flames came out of the exhaust.
I have no cats, so is this normal? It's not shooting 10 foot orange flames, but little blue ones. I've inspected the plugs, and they appear to be burning good, not black or fuel fouled. I'm not sure how long it's done this either.
Anyone have any thoughts?
You have raw gasoline coming out of your exhaust pipe.

I seen it many times on other performance exhaust cars. I thought it was just a byproduct of a free flowing exhaust. No biggie. Looks cool.
