Merlyn,
Are you sure its a secondary exhaust you're talking about?
The only times you ever see flames shoot from an exhaust are for high boost turbo'd cars. Mostly race spec. Some BPU Supra's and RX-7's will shoot flames out of their exhaust when they run race fuel, or when they run a test pipe instead of their catalytic converter. Reason being is that because when a test pipe is used, there is a lot of unburnt fuel in the exhaust and with all the heat and pressure in the exhaust stream sometimes it ignites. It happens when they get off the throttle after they've been on it real hard. Like between shift's you'll see a quick flame shoot out the back.
On the dyno you have to becareful of this, because as the car spools down from a run, the flame can shoot out a good 3 feet or so for a sustained amount of time... some 5 seconds even.
Tip: don't stand behind a Supra or RX-7 on a dyno.

I think i'd be an awesome little thing to have when you're racing some guy...so he gets scared...or just so you feel cool. It doesn't have to stay on..it's mainly like you hit a switch or you trottle the car all the way, and you get flames. It's an awesome touch. Anyone have info?
