picked up the whip earlier, and i think we have a problem!
 
got the long tubes and h-pipe put on and sounds great! while i was driven around for about a half n hr i start to see a huge cloud of smoke! i poped the hood and the smoke was commin from the passenger side and it smelled like spray paint kinda smell! i turned the car off and back on and continued drivenand it didnt happen again.. wierd. anyone hear of this!?

Were the parts new or used? Prolly just burning off some of the coating / paint from factory.. If it happens frequently, then you have a problem, if it was a one time thing, then it's just burn off.

My car smoked like crazy after having my catback and prochamber installed....it's just burning off paint and other stuff....give it a day or so and it should be fine. I took my car straight to the dyno and after a few pulls the whole dyno area was filled with the smoke from my car! ha ha ha......It went away.

Reminds me of a white desklamp I just got or my dorm room... has a warning label that reads alon the lines of "A strong odor may be emmitted from this lamp. This is not dangerous, it is the paint heating up and should dissipate during the first use."
Which I thought was weird for a lamp. 60watts y0

:orlysmiley: great story!

my headers and xpipe did the same. youll be alright...

all new headers will smoke. it's just life. The coating will burn in/off after a little bit and you'll be fine. The shop should have told you to expect that.
