That's an old hot rod trick. Weld a bung and nozzle into the exhaust and spray a flammible liquid or gas in there. Just like holding a lighter and spraying bug or hairspray through it. You get a flamethrower.

Or you could just buy a first model 6.4

Some of the old two stroke diesels would do that if had the fuel turned up and then went up high.

I had a Detroit Diesel back in 1979 that was set up at sea level on the east coast with some decent fueling rates.
Hammer down at anything over 8000 feet and it would blow about 2 or 3 feet of flame out of the stacks.

Sure made for a fun trip through the Rockies in the winter with all the snow looking orange.
