yeah the more free flow the exhaust the more it will do that. rx7's are infamous about that. Everyone thinks its pretty cool. If you do a search you will see vids of people doing shooting huge flames

Have a friend stand behind (and off to the side) as you rev it in neutral. Bounce it off the rev limiter a few times. Peal their jaw off the ground.

It's perfectly normal.
