Certainly. On any car that does not have cats, you will likely see some flame here or there. Typically the flame doesnt make it all the out to the tail pipe, but hey.. with no cats, you're pushin alot of crap out the tailpipe...

Really. I thought it was only possible on cars with exaust like the mustangs (ptetty much straight shot all the way to the tail pipes). Thoes are the only ones I really see doing it because how the exaust is straight shot to the back of the car. I didnt think it was possible on the f-cars because of the crossflow muffler design.
