I'm leaning toward carbon chunks from your exhaust (not engine)... As does build up... and I'm sure revving that high breaks it off... super heats it and shoots it out... hence it looking like little sparks/coals/embers..

but.. I'm no scientist.

I have never seen that before. Maybe some of the material RB uses in their mufflers?

should your car really be shooting flames that easily? my n/a would occasionally shoot flames on deccel or something, and my T2 will after any kind of boosting, but I've never been able to just sit there and rev it to shoot flames. Both cars had no cats.
