Yes, it's not by any means an impressive explosion with massive ammounts of force (if it were, your exhaust piping would take some serious abuse) Generally it just ignites and flows towards the source of oxygen (generally out the pipe), granted sometimes they do have quite a bit of a 'pop' to them, but the exhaust forces usually help combat any damage to the turbo.

If i run my car very hard and get the exhaust warm enough, I will sometimes get a bright flash out back when I lift off to shift. But I have never seen the flame myself. Oh I also have a straight (no cat) 3" to 2.5" exhaust exiting out 2.5" stright through mufflers lol.

^ I love puns. Oh, and I would imagine full catless exhaust would shoot flames that would make even F-18's green with envy.

I seriously doubt that. Each one of the F-18 engines produces about 25,000 pounds of thrust with full afterburner, that is enough to take your car and launch it into the upper atmosphere in less than a few minutes. =)
(oh yeah, I know its a joke btw)

I've got 2.5" straight exhaust (straight all the way) with a single high flow muffler. I'll get a fireball when I downshift at 7500rpm. But thats on only when the car is really warmed up. One of my sensors was disconnected and I was spouting flames when the car idled. Of course my mileage and performance sucked. But now its only at high rpm and when the car is really warmed up.
