First off some of the smoking could be due to the new piping that might have some greasy residue inside form the manufacturing process, but that will go away after a day or two. Removing the cats can cause it to smoke more, the cats do clean the exhaust, so by removing the cats it can cause more smoking.
So in short the BIC Downpipe has nothing to do with the smoking :icon_smil
It does sound sort of like a BHG, get it tested, and check if your collant level is dropping.
BTW, blue smoke is burning oil, black is fuel, (too rich) and white is coolant or water.
Oh I didn't blame the dp... I do not doubt your great work
I was trouble shooting why it did that. And it turns out that cheap ass oil was the cause. I was in Alabama about a month ago and I noticed that I was about 1 quart low when I stopped for gas. So I bought this generic shit at the exxon. Figured it would serve it's purpose. I had the dp installed, and it smoked...Well, I took my car to jiffly lube 2 days ago so they could do an oil flush on my car.. (friend gets me 70% off... why not?) and he informed me that cheap oil mixed with differnt types of oil... reguardless if it's the same weight. It can lead to crap like smoking.. So I changed to 20w40.. after the flush. had a transmission flush and lsd flush done again. I went for the radiator flush too.. after I left there I spent a total of 50 bucks.. I've never had my car running so great! Doesnt smoke anymore, idles great, always right below my half maker on my temp. gauge...
I love the dp, and I love my car again untill this morning, I was crossing an intersection, and an old lady pulled out infront of me! she just come right out of the turn lane and hit my passengerside fender. I wish i still had my digital camera. The whole front bumper and fender are gone. Headlight won't pop up, hood wouldn't come up either. She said "I didn't see you coming" Yeah... a supra is a small car... ... stupid bitch. It still runs and drives great, just dented the hell out of it. I tried to swerve into the left lane but i wasnt fast enough. So I think I saved the car by doing that. But her insurnce will be buying me a new paintjob atleast!
I'm still a little stoked from that... but yeah, atleast I'll get my front bumper and fender fixed and get a new paintjob. I'll try to get pics of it soon as possible.. atleast before I get it fixed.
Thanks again BIC for a kick ass downpipe!
