i installed my evo catback which i bought from showstopper
great price
it took me about 3 hours cause of that damn bolts on
the cat. so rusty took me forever to get them out
i love the finished look and the sound which is deep and
not as loud as other catbacks that i had before
ii used anti rust sprays to get them bolts out and
when i started the engine i saw some smoke came under my car
at first i thought it was that spray that i used, but i left engine running for about 15 mins..... i don;t see the smoke any more, but
i can still smell something is burning or there is some smog leakge.
just want some ideas from you readers.
thanks
sorry for long wite up
next is dc ceramic header later mext week

Yup, every exhaust i have ever owned did the same thing for the first week i had it installed.... the oils and stuff from the pipes have to burn off.....

Nothing to worry about.

I had to use an impact wrench to get those cat bolts off.....those things were horriable to get off.....
