Unhappy warmup sequence on my Z

I have a few questions I can't seem to get straight answers. I have a habit of warming up the Z before I go anywhere and I notice that when I do I only see the exhaust morning steam or smoke come from the passenger side only. I can feel the heat coming only from that side also but the driver side seems cold in the morning.....what gives I have the Crawford Hi-flows with a Invidia g200 true dual exhaust. Is this normal for my car or should I be concerned since I thought it would or should smoke from both sides but it seems not....

I can't be positive about your situation, but we have seen high-flow cats where the material inside has collapsed partially blocking the cat.

If you only get smoke and heat on one side then something seems to be blocked/leaking.

Dude I have the Non resognated Helix test pipes and have the G200 exhaust as well. I had the same problem until I got the emanage to help out the stock ecu. Your engine is most likely running to lean

Question Got your message Tuesday - PM me your Cell Number

Associo,

PM me your Cell.. ( My Cell Said - Not Allowed?? )
Have you called the guy that sold you the Crawford Cats? Did he have a problem? I'm thinking driver's side is Coked up - Plugging.
After the car is warm - you should have equal pressure ( At exhaust tips) - since the G200 Invidia has separate paths and no cross over pipe.

Amy I don't think my a/f is off with my Plenum spacer, Exhaust and Hi Flow's or I am wrong. I will be adding my intake also to the mix so I am confused. I had to take my car to a muffler shop to install me hi-flows since Tony's lift was used. I think next time I will wait for his help than take it somewhere......
