Install a total ignition shutoff and while the car is good and fully warm and you are driving down the freeway kill the ignition! You will get flames out of the rear! I know it cuz I lived it on my 2011. Fire dept was dispatched. LMAO.
Seriously. It happened. it happened because the ignition fuse blew while getting on it on the freeway and the fuel kept dumping into the engine which ignited in the cats! Blew up the cats and mufflers and the fire dept guys said it was called in as "huge flames coming out the rear of a black Mercedes". My third party warranty actually ended up covering the entire new exhaust system. Somewhere near $14k as I recall.
In full disclosure, I am telling you one way to get what you are after. Of course you would not do this as it is very costly and dangerous!
Why would you want this, may I ask?

Not sure but I think they have to have a special fuel pump to run a separate fuel injector and also have a spark plug. And how well it all works depends on how much O2 is available. It would be lots of work. The only value is "Look at me". No removing anything just adding the system at the rear pipe someplace.

Keep in mind that if you do do a custom flame setup you'll risk burning and melting the bumper as we have exhaust tips attached to the bumper and the muffler itself is free from the bumper and tips and set back a bit
