Question Who's tailpipes shoot flames out at night?

I've seen F bodys that shoot small blue/orange flames out at night like a motorcycle will. Does yours? If it does what exhaust are you running? or what mods do you have that are contributing to the fire show?

I'm not talking about a kit, I know the ones for lowrods and **** with propane and a sparkplug in the exhuast or the like. Those are cool but I'm not talking about the flamethrower kits, I'm just talking about cars that for whatever reason, due to their mods shoot a little blue fire out at night. Ya dig?

That's what I'm talking about, I seen it before and was wondering what makes em do it. I guess just fuel lighting off between shifts. So your car is stock with some drag radial or what?

INMYTA blasted me with some flames on the Galveston cruise back in October while we were hauling nuts down I-45.

when my 84 was open headers my friends told me the whole underside of my car was flames -when letting off the gas, made a big bang too.... lol dont know if my ls1 shoots any flames though.. higher octane gas(burns longer) would help this if your looking to see some flames.

I have Pacesetters, ORY, STOCK WS6 muffler. On cold days, it will shoot out a small bluish flame from both tips when I'm downshifting, it also tends to make a pop sound when it does it. My friend with a SS Camaro, and WS6 are the ones that noticed it when they were behind me when we were crusin at night.

Mine does it...had a chick come running up to me one evening and tell me my exhaust was on fire

My setup is Pacesetters, no cats, and a set of Lane's 3" duals, dumped at the axle.

You can crank up the DFCO in the tune to make it pop and shoot flames under decel.

Actually, from what I have heard, removing DFCO actually causes a reduction in mileage, hence there is quite a bit in the tune from GM.
