drive around for a while, then drive at around 6500 rpm for a minute or so, you should then be able to shoot flames when you rev it. If you stop and screw around, it will cool off and no flames.

exhaust
I've had rx8store.com's exhaust installed for about 4 months and it still sounds awsome. :D Plus with the straight through magnaflows it uses you can see the flames come out of them in the side mirrors. 
It's freakin awsome man!! What size of pipe are the other systems made of?

Fanman, the borla unit is significantly lighter than the stock unit. I can lift the borla in one hand no problem, the stock unit I'd have problems with one hand, or even two. I don't know the weight though... so I can't say much more than that.

I disagree... some friends of mine and I installed a Borla last summer, but we weighed it first. The Borla weighed about 33 Lbs, the stock exhaust weighed 38 Lbs.

When you are talking about the 20 lb. area you are talking near titanium exhaust weight. The Amuse unit for our car weighs 18.5 lbs., though the JIC does weigh around 10 lbs., but unless they have cut out most of the middle canister or go single exhaust there really is no way to cut 50% of the weight unless you use a much lighter material (ala titanium).
