I just put in a set of bbk shortie headers, (used) and a new bbk h pipe. After the install i drove it and it started smoking bad. I thought it would smoke a bit cause of the new h but this was for like a mile. is this normal?

thick smoke and what color?

mattdel

mine didn't smoke

tom50

looked white, i got home and shut her down

mattdel

its slighty possibly that the cats were able to filter the smoke, and you've never seen it before. white means coolant which usually means headgasket

tom50

Thats what i was thinking but its not leaking, i never have to add oil or coolant,

mattdel

was it thick enough to think it was motor related? sure it wasnt condensation?

tom50

It was wierd, i have a drop top so it smelled like oil burning but i dont know, im new to cars. It was thick enough to see and smell driving

my buddy bought a new bbk h-pipe we put his on it smoked for like 20mins or so idk his 5.0 only has 50k miles on it so pretty sure its just normal

next chance you get, take a peek at the dipstick tube. i'll bet its a bit loose.
