not enough fuel is getting past the cat though so there is not enough to ignite, but enough for a pop and bang

not enough, cat will get rid of most but there will be a slight build up, to actually flame there needs to a reasonable amount of fuel

its your car and all that but peanuts is right, flamer kits are just a weak imitation of over run...get it remapped with a decat and it will spit proper flames anyway
