Sparks From My Exhaust

i was WOT and my friend was behind me n told me that i had a flame come out the back and then for a good 100feet said i had sparks come out afterwards.

was wondering if its bad or anything.
wondering if it could be just cuz my stock injectors are maxed out on my tune.
or if it could be because i have a 3rd gear misfire.

friend said i might be hurting my o2 or my exhaust packet. anyone have an idea?

I had a 95 MR-2 Turbo and it was all worked up but this was before the tuning days of today.

In summary, my lean condition melted my cat and it ended up shooting out of the exhaust in pieces.
