its basicly all about fuel getting to the oxygen at the end of the pipe... the manifold, de-cat and racetube will all help aswell as a straight through backbox... but if theres fuel igniting as it exits the exhaust then it will flame... some saxo's over fuel and some don't... its a common fault on em tbh

Dunno I'd imagine all you need to do is get the exhaust system nice and hot including the cat or u will need to seriously overfuel

Why the fack would you want your cars to pop flames. Not cool at all and if I saw a saxo or pug do it or most cars I would think what a knob after I finished laughing my ass off.
Seriously people why would you want this?
Explain

it looks good if it is a natural flame from something that has quite alot of work done but if it is somebody sitting revving it trying to look cool for 13 year old girls then that is ghey

I think its one of those things where if it does it you arent going to complain, but actively seeking it is a no-no. Remaps that cause this kind of thing are just silly if you ask me, they seem pretty big on the renault sport scene at the moment
