RX8 CF to the max

I had a carbon fibered out RX8 pass me yesterday, basically a ricer fly by. He had a CF wing, trunk , hood and some exhaust work. Sounded like 2 fart cans more than a CBE or anything. Well I passed him in normal driving and in my rear view mirror I saw him punch it to catch up, of course I wouldnt let him and puled on him some till I quit. So he zooms by me again and as he does I see fire from his left exhaust tip for a couple of secs. I guess he needs to tune the car or something as I guess he was running rich and the hot pipes ignited the funes. It was funny cuz he wouldnt look at me, I guess he was mad all his light CF did nothing for him against a Z. But is the car running rich what caused the fire from the tip?
