Default SMOKING!??!?!?!?

I installed a [used] pypes o/r h... i know i used a bunch of PB blaster.. and i start it up (loud as hell) and like theres a bunch of smoke coming from my passanger side where the mid pipe bolts to the manifold...

is this bad? or is that just the PB being burnt off?

thanks i need to know ASAP.. since im about to be going on a fairly long drive in a couple hours... thank you

It's just the blaster, don't worry about it.

but i did notice it makes a fizzy i guess you could call it kind of sound on acceleration on the drivers side... and i can hear kinds a rattly sound.. could this be from a leak? or something not t tight enough?

check the bolts and make sure its all tight. if that doesnt work then find out where the leak is and seal it with the liquid gasket.
