How the hell did you get that flame....looks like a damn jet. I have 3" piping all the way back to y pipe then 2.5" to the 4" tips...I get baby flames even though my car is running wayy rich. 
i want big flames too.

well my theory goes like this..... if you have a large pipe then the flame will spread out and be short and fat... but if it is a smaller pipe then it will be long and narrow... my tips are 3 inch but the inside of my muffler is about 2 inches so my flames come out more narrow and longer as when yours would come out of a larger radius and be short and fat....
does that theory make sense or should i just go to bed now?

oh and running rich doenst always mean more flames
if you run to rich you run colder and the pipes dont warm up as much from what i have heard

the aux ports are right above the exhaust manifold... tha acuators are down there (two bell looking objects) that swivel a hook up and down... if you remove the acuators (4 bolts) and swivel the arm into the 6:00 position and wrap some wire around it to hold it at that postion you have open ports.... if your ports are stuck or something they will be hard to rotate so you might have to work with it a bit

To the guy wondering why Japanese racing games have backfire on shifts...
Backfiring systems are fuel maps that dump fuel on quick throttle let-off... the fuel doesn't burn, makes it to the exhaust and explodes because of the heat in the headers. The explosion gives the turbo an extra boost, keeps it going.
So it's basically an anti-lag system that keeps the turbo spooled even when the driver lets off the gas for a second. Of course it's at the cost of all the parts mentioned above, which all fail much faster due to the explosions they're exposed to.
Only hardcore fairly short term racers use them... they use them in rally a LOT because they just replace the parts with brand new ones ANYWAY for the sake of not having a part fail on a stage.
It would be pretty stupid to actually have this in your car IRL.. you'd be changing turbos every time you got gas and blowing holes in your headers constantly... otherwise, the RX-7's backfiring does look awesome.
When my car was running the TPS wasn't doing its' job and was dumping fuel causing the backfire... I got a great feeling thinking about what the people I just passed must be thinking when they see the quick flame and pop when I shift hahaha. ;D

I know what a backfiring system does (which is keep the turbo spooled when you let off the gas), but I didn't know how they worked, or what they were (the fuel map), so thanks.
I've seen some Skylines on the C1 highway that backfired a lot, and the guy I went there with said they had a backfiring system, but I really wondered about that...
And high-performance NA engines backfire just as much, so it seems... even if they don't have fuel-maps intented to cause backfires.
I guess it's a good excuse as any to get rid of your catalytic converters... hehe.
Would you see backfires on a high-flow converter at least?
