Installed TBE 2 weeks ago. Dont know if this happened when I had stock(cant remember) but when I start my car, I get white smoke coming out from my exhaust. It also smells. It stops when I drive for about 5 min.
Only happens when I start the car.


Thank you

If your running a test pipe instead of a cat then I would say it's normal.

its not smoke its steam and it ok all cars do it

The smell is the oils from the manufacturing process.

im running stock cat. I also think its normal but smoke is coming alot. Never had big exhaust car before so i got worried.

yeah it sounds like it's just condesation from hot exhaust gas and cold weather. it's normal. you having any other problems? if you car is really pouring alot of smoke out even after it warms up it could be an indication of a blown headgasket or bad turbo seals. check your oil and coolant.

did you use any pb blaster to loosen up the bolts and stuff? the left over liquid just burns off and its normal. its not a very pungent smell, correct?

i think its just gas and cold weather. Also putted whole 5 qt when I changed oil after break in. Stock had alot of oil , so i putted 5qt to match the stock.

make sure to let the car sit for a couple of hours and recheck the oil level. having to much oil is not a good thing
