The flames are just a by-product of aggressive driving, the Borla exhaust, and Mazda's excessively rich fuel maps.

In my opinion the flames don't last long enough to catch a tailgating car on fire but it sure catches their attention. :P

Borla is asking $700 plus S&H.
Vivid Racing wants $595 and that includes S&H.
I originally placed my order with Borla but after waiting almost a month and making a few phone calls they finally admitted that they lost/cancelled my order. On that same day I called Vivid Racing and a week later I have it installed on my car.
Less money and better service, that's the way it should be. Thanks Vivid Racing!

What do you have planned for your 8? Are you going with Borla or are you holding out for Racing Beat?

[/list=1] As you can see, it is not easy to get flames because the conditions have to be perfect to ignite the unburnt fuel. Likewise I have not seen any damage to the paint or body work on the car but your mileage may vary. :p
If Mazda ever corrects the pig rich fuel map the flames will probably go away for good.
