Flames - unlikely unless its got a Calibra turbo lump under the bonnet.
As for making him go faster - he's been watching KnightRider too much
Flames are the result of unburnt fuel in the exhaust that get ignited by the heat in the pipes. An indication of an improved downpipe and de-cat exhaust. Probably.

I know someone with a MG ZR160 (Rover 25 in drag) who is immensely proud of it. He's changed the exhaust and put a K&N filter on it, and reckons it'll do 0-60 in around 5 seconds and give the scoob "a run for its money".
