Test pipes+new o2's = Lots of white smoke
Here is my story. I had test pipes before that blew out both my o2's. I ran with no o2's for about 4 months (school+no job). I recently bought new megan test pipes and brand new o2's, thinking my car would run flawlessly like it did when I first put this set up on the road.
My car is spitting out tonnes of raw fuel from the exhaust in the form of white smoke. By tonnes I mean clouds fountaining out of the exhaust pipes and covering the street. This only happens when the car has reached operating temp and only at idle. After I set off, the car leaves behind a thick cloud of smoke and then leans out the mixture, until the next stop light where i come to an idle.
I have vibrant performance o2 fittings (They are non-foulers plugs with various diameters for the male end).
The car is a 2003 g35 coupe, 6mt. Apex-i WS2 catback, megan test pipes and y-pipe. Brand new rear o2 sensors were fitted last week, the car ran without smoke for a few days, then this happens.
There are no signs of a head-gasket leak, coolant is at the same level it was when i checked it last (8 months). Car doesn't burn oil and runs strong.
So I am confused. Input?
Thanks.

Yea white smoke has nothing to do with fuel. It is coolant related. Having test pipes might just show you there is a problem, test pipes no matter what brand won't cause you to suddenly leak coolant unless you somehow screwed something up with the install. I have Megan test pipes with no issues for 3 years now.

im having the same problem with my megan test pipes also. after i put on my new invidia exhaust and megans it started smoking. before it had cats and a custom ugly exhaust and never smoked like this before. my coolant is the same level, oil is but gets black quick ( i beat on it ). im thinking its the test pipes also because it doesnt smell like coolant and doesnt seem like a headgasket problem. let me know if putting back the cats or changing test pipes work
