   I was behind a Saxo the other day a bit late at night. Every now and then (going down a dual carridgeway) flames were spitting out of the exhaust...luked awesome!!
   
   What could make the car do this? or is there too many possibilities for this??
   
   What i mean is there something you can do to the exhaust/engine or is it a case of just big power??
   
   Cheers.

   I know chrisvts's used to spit little flames out of it as did my old saxo when it had the 5" suzuka exhaust on it. De-cat can make it pop and spit little flames but nothing major.

   car thats overfuelling or a very hot system with burn excess fuel of when it hits the exhaust, hence the flames. normally happens when booting it, or when easing off the gas
   
   looks cool
