What color is the smoke?

This is normal. I saw someone say why they smoke at first, I can't find the post where they stated that though. Others agreed with the one who stated it, so i'm pretty sure it's a valid statement. It should go away after a certain amount of miles.

i live in nj but my car is registered in Va so as long as the car stays in nj Va says their is no need for emissions test (i told Va DMV that the car is garaged in NJ and is just my weekend summer car) they wanted to see the deed to my house in NJ and they gave me the ok

it should smoke alittle because they dip the pipes and clean it before they ship it off and it will smoke when it gets hot because it is burning all that crap off

Bio is correct, many new exhausts will experience this "burn in"....I assume it's the same thing w/ the test pipes. It should stop after a few days...
