that sure is a hell of a lot of energy (and fuel money) going through that pipe!

Just a word of warning - flames out of the exhaust (particularly on overrun) can indicate a weak fuel mixture. The reason for this is that weak fuel mixtures take longer to burn, so they're still burning as they exit the engine and exhaust, which isn't generally great for the exhaust valves or head. They are fun though!
