since the G-Force ECUs are tuned pretty rich, if you have an open exhaust system, im pretty sure youll be flamer.

Flames

That doesn't hurt the car or engine at all does it? The idea of that seems awesome

Not the engine, but it can put a toll on your rear bumper unless you extend your exhaust out a little or use some sort of heat shield.

You get some nice flame scars on your bumper so you don't have to light it up to prove it just show them the black smoke stains on your bumper. I don't think it hurts the engine though, it's just excess gas that didn't burn properly. My friends FC will shoot flames but nothing too big just a little pop of light when he romps it from 2nd to 3rd. Not inneutral though. My GSX would shoot about a 3 foot flame when racing but that's it. The guy in the other lane really likes it because it gives him something ot look forward to besides losing. Ha.

My GSX had an Apex'i 3" Race Pipe with Apex' i Dunk catback exhaust. I have a Mutt Level 3 Turbo and I just tune my S-AFC to run a little richer plus I ahd no dump tube off my BOV so my MAS got confused and would richen it up a bit when I shifted and Boom! Flames. I burnt my back bumper a little but I sold my car and bought an RX7.

I would not try that with a cat in place. My Race pipe eliminated the cat all together. You might damage something. It still may work but I dunno.
