So i install my megan testpipes on tuesday, yesterday my car was smoking but a little bit.. it smells like it burning oil.. got an oil change today. i put 10w-40o synthetic mobile 1.and it still smokes bluish smoke.. but very little and smells alot.. The mechanic told me its because of the test pipes but im not to sure..

 

eeek!

 

itsssssssssssss motor time.
































mine did the same thing. it smokes only during cold starts and goes away when the motor is warmed up.

 

oh... I can understand!

 

well mine dosnt... shiett im super worried..

 

yes but it smells like burnt oil...

 

Well the Test pipes will have a distinct smell no matter what....

 

mine were used......


just see how it goes after a lil while

 

You might smell some unburnt fuel occasionally if the car is just sitting idling, but if you are seeing bluish smoke and smelling burnt oil thats not necessarily due to the test pipes themselves.

 

Could be the glass packing in the resonators burning... It usually goes away after you break them in

 

Any CEL light with your Test Pipes? Did you have to use Spark Plug fouler?

 

I don't know about anyone else, but I have had my test pipes on with the non-fouler trick for about 10K miles, and I have never gotten a CEL from it (actually, I've never gotten a CEL for anything in this car since I've owned it in the last 3 years).

 

Reidonly: Which test pipes you have?

 

If your tp's are used You obviously shouldn't get smoke...
Rasp yes... Smoke no.. LOL. When rockin brand new tp's it may smoke up slightly in the beginning.
Just as a brand new cat back smokes up... due to the glass pack the manufactures use. Its all normal.
Goes away after it settles. If the smell is hella bad than stop cranking it. Get a second opinion. Its easy for a
clueless mechanic to just say it your tp's. But did you ask why? Anyways.. Hope everything works out. Good luck bro..

 

its easy to smell when your car is burning oil and smoking lol
