If you remove the cat and put a midpipe in place of it than yes, it will shoot flames. If your cat is still in place, you will have no flames.

The flames are caused my excess gas that ignite in the exhaust pipes, but you need a midpipe as a CAT wont allow you to shoot flames... I believe... lol its a little late and im tired...

if you're looking for a quick flash of flame then yes a midpipe will do

this on the other hand requires more work
