Nobody is gonna doubt that it'll do it.. The RX8 runs incredibly rich. Putting the test pipe on there is gonna just make it easier for those flames to make it out of the exhaust.. If you drive the car around STOCK at 6K+ for about 10 minutes, then go find a parking lot, put it in neutral and mash the throttle you can sometimes shoot flames.. and that's stock..

With the HKS catback, I can occassionally shoot flames as well.......... not consistently though.

Sounds like I need to dump the cat or something.

I can understand you being excited and all, but its not big deal. all 8s shoot flames even with stock cat AND exhaust. with an aftermarket cat back its much easier, with your setup every gear change goes boom I'd llove to see the vid though
Oh the other day I was behind a friend's rx8 with greddy catback and stock cat and at WOT it was shooting flames in every gear change
