How to make back fire
The other posts are about stopping back fire, but lots of Ferraris and Lamborghinis do this, and you could probably consider it a feature.
e.g. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1KN_kOzvVg
Is this something people do to their vettes ever? esp. z06
Obviously, backfire can be accomplished a few ways, some better than others.

Considering they are quite affordable, i am thinking about it, although I like the BB exhausts too. Problem is, they look like a lot of work to install. Correct me if i'm wrong

I love the decel popping and gurgling when pulling up to a traffic light. I get the occasional small fireball out the tailpipe after hard accelleration as well.
It's kind of a warning to others (like flashing gang signs).

Want impressive backfires? Get an older car with a carburetor and a manual trans, run it up in second, turn the key off, pump the gas a few times and then turn the key back on. Can even cause flames to shoot out the mufflers.

And there may even be some on here that haven't the foggiest of what a carb is.

thats not a back fire, thats raw fuel being dumped into the exhaust manifold, a real back fire is a knock on steriods and not cool, you could drill the manifolds and pump gas or propane in, and the everybody would think your a real stud
