It's just left over unburnt fuel. It burnt on the way out instead of in the chamber and no you don't need to be concerned.

i think he meant flame cuz if he's seeing sparks, he's got MAJOR issues to worry about and i'm pretty sure he'd know. Because if he doesn't have a cat anymore he's seeing the unburnt fuel.

Resonators have nothing to do with burning fuel. Try again!
