me and a buddy just installed a cobra intake on sunday. well on an initial start up say the first one of the day or a couple hours later when it fires up a small to medium size of white smoke comes out of the exhaust. it doesnt keep smoking after that and it doesnt do it while driving. do uthink its still burning stuff off from when we tore it down to install it?

 

most likely its just left over coolant in the cylinders. when i did my manifold i nearly sh*t myself when i started it back up. i thought i ruined my car. but after a while (depending on how much you spilt) it stops. i wouldnt worry about it

 

Thats what i thought, thanks for the reply i just needed another opinion

 

COOLANT WILL CLEAN YOUR PISTONS!!!!!!!!

 

most likley

 

thanks guys, i was hoping thats what it was..i never knew it cleaned em

w/ the intake and throttle body it is a noticeable gain

could it be a problem of having to reseal the intake??

 

it cleans the pistons and cyl acts like steam cleaning but make shure you cange the oil because if it was smokeing some definatly got into the oiil not to worry though i have pulled alot of intakes off to change them and you really cant get around spilling some.

 

yea we changed it right after the install
