Smoking Down pipe!

[imprezapete]

Hi people

Just got my new H&S down pipe fitted the day after wrapping it in 10m of Cooltech Heat wrap. Anyway me and ScoobyAndy did the job using lots of water to get it to shrink in further when it would dry off.

Anyway I just picked it up From East Linton and headed up to ScoobyAndys. I stopped at the slip road end waiting to turn left when all I got was a large puff of white smoke/steam come out of the Scoob. I was like

Anyway I drove it down to my friends and gave it rev to find the downpipe is smoking when the engine is rev'ed.

Its a strange smell and it seems to be coming from the back of the turbo/down pipe join under the heat sheild.

NO engine warning lights or anything. Just a smell and smoke, I knowe it was going to smell. But is the smoke normal?

Give Chris a call back Pete...see what he says.

As a note....my wrapped headers smoked for a while once they were done too.

Gotta agree my downpipe and up pipe smoked a bit, I checked for fire a few times on the way home in fact

If your still concerend then take it back to who fitted it and let then check it over.

Laters

Spooks

Totally normal. Shouldn't last too long though.

Something else that can cause it is if the cv gator is loose on the drivers side as it can spary grease up the downpipe. If the smoke doesn't die down fairly quickly have a look under the car in case you disturbed it while fitting the piipe.

Same thing happaened with mine pete, i got some strange looks when i stopped at a set of traffic lights on the way back after having it fitted and the smoke was coming out the scoop

Same here. Headers and up pipe were done by RCM and it took an age for all the heat wrap to stop smoking and smelling bad

Just driven it again, just smell this time.

But I was like 'Holy smoking pipes batman!' when I saw it come out the scoop lol

Either that or a rasta just lit a big doobie in my scoobie
