Default S2000 popped a flame.

I have a ap1 with k&n intake, invidia test pipe and skunk2 exhaust. I was driving today and my friend said that when I slowed down an down shifted it popped a flame. Is This something I should be worried about? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

my S have done that... I think it has to do with the gas left in your exhaust before the down shift... I think I didn't explained to good.. Dont know how to explain it xD

there's a way you can do this whenever you want but its harder on Fuel Injected cars.. and might harm your engine

Test pipe causes this. The purpose of the cat is to burn up flamable vapors before they leave the tailpipe.

the car is dumping a lot fuel coz of the K&N intake. Take it off and there wont be any smoke or flames.
