OK first off, I've been stockpiling parts for a little over a month and was waiting for a free weekend to install them all. And yesterday and today I did so. My PRL Catted Downpipe (wrapped in Lava Rock exhaust wrap), my AWE Touring Exhaust, and my PRL Flex Fuel Kit are now on the car, running a Stage 2 TSP Flex Fuel tune. And OMG it's freaking awesome. But you guys already know that Stage 2 is sick, so I won't bother going into it
So I'm not pushing the car hard yet (just in case), but 100 miles in, no warning lights, no signals, no nuffin'. But once it gets up to normal temps, white smoke begins to bellow out of the tailpipe. The oil looks normal, and I wasn't getting any smoke before the install. My car just hit 13k miles today, so I'd be surprised if it were anything bad. FWIW the smoke was also coming out of the engine bay.
Doing some Googling it seems the stuff in exhausts when they manufacture it burn off (and I used a TON of PB Blaster taking the stock one off... like almost an entire can lmao). I'm just being paranoid... I think. Have you guys had similar issues with a new exhaust? Did it go away after a few days?
I can try to get a video if you want. It's... bad. Like, I look in the mirror and can barely see the cars behind me lol. It stinks really bad too haha. Any help is greatly appreciated; thanks in advance
