small puffs of flames is usually due to engine backfire, or a hot exhaust recombusting any unburnt fuel that passes out the exhaust, common on turbo motors.

large flames are due to some guy showboating by running a rich mixture and installing a sparkplug in the tailpipe to ignite the mix for dramatic, yet useless, effect
