Exhaust explanation needed.....

Well lastnight I was part of a car show/cruise at a nearby town. Of course during the cruise everyone that was on the side of the street wanted to see some burnouts. The local police kindly put an end to that by handing out tickets to anyone that they caught and the people couldn't put water or any other substance on the road. Needless to say I can only handle so many people calling me a p*ssy before I decided to drop the hammer and let the Toyos spin alittle.

I knew that the cops were at the other end of town and I went through the car wash bay to get a little moisture on the tires. I reved up to about 2000 and dropped the clutch and started to spin like crazy, the kind where your @ss end moves out to one side and then you over-compensate and it swings out to the other side. Well after finally getting control of the stang, I shifted into second and caught some more rubber. After I turn around, much to the enjoyment of the gathered crowd, everyone starts asking me how I did that with my exhaust.

I had no idea what they were talking about so I asked my friend who was there and he said that there was about a foot and a half long flame that came out of both exhaust tips. My current setup is a Pro-Chamber with the Magnapack cat-back. The only thing I can think of is the MAC cold air kit I have (to which I have done the Darkwolf mod) is making my car run hella rich and when the fibers insided the Packs get hot that creates the flames. Anyone else experience this or have a better explanation as to why this happens?

P.S. Best of show went to a riced out 97 Chevy Cavalier......it looked HIDEOUS!!!
