I hear a bunch of small ones almost every time I lift off the throttle, and sometimes they're kinda louder. I wonder if those are the ones that shoot flames.

Not necessarily.

I've had the same comments about my car. 76mm test pipe, Challenge 76TA-R single exhaust. If it's dark outside, a small blue flame can be seen at the tailpipe exit between shifts.

Here's some random youtube vid I found. Looks like a mildly modded n/a s2000.

Its just unburnt fuel. Not uncommon. You have a fire breathing beast

I routinely get comments about small flames with a test pipe and Tanabe Medallion Touring exhaust. Same when I had a Berk 3" headerback system, don't worry about it.

I've also got an 00 and w/ a custom built exhaust with no cat it pops flames fairly often, always when letting off the gas at high rpm and its due to the richness which allows excess fuel into the hot exhaust stream where it ignites.
