Anyone know why the exhaust does this? Is it safe?

Pretty cool though!

They are called "flamethrowers". We have been doing that since the early 50's. It is just a spark plug installed in the exhaust tip. When you rev the engine, turn the key off and on and the unburned gas will ignite. I see it all the time at street rod shows.
