[s-cars] Flame on the exhaust (Fast and Furious 2 Movie inside)

[Sandy Sligh]

As far as I know, the classic flames-out-the-tailpipe
system kills the ignition spark for a second or two
letting raw fuel run out the exhaust. Then with a
tailpipe mounted sparkplug, you ignited the exiting
raw fuel.

As you can see, the above would totally crap up the
cats. Also, not good to let raw fuel wash over your
cylinder walls, cutting the layer of lubricating oil.
