i'm going to take a stab in the dark and say that your test pipes didn't have anything to do with it.

Run along, There are grown folks talking.

OP, its extremely doubtful that the test pipes caused your issue. Some cars run very lean without a tune with test pipes, so anything is possible. Who told you the test pipes were the problem?

I bought the car used so its possible it was already lean and i worsened it with the tp's. Nobody did but maybe the lean caused the burning. im not a engine guru like you guys.
