i orderd a set of Megan Racing test pipes from Enjuku racing...recieved them last tuesday installed last wednesday car smoked like crazy with them on there like a diesel truck...unbareble to drive wouldnt think a exhaust could do this took it to the dealer had so much hassle fighting them now over it.I called megan racing to ask them if they could cause this and said they had several complaint of them smoking for 2-3 weeks!?! and its only with the 350z and G35 which there having the problem..trust me its embarrasing and the stinch is horrid..do not buy them!! you will so regret if...if you want em ..ill sell ya mine used for 100 miles for $100 shipped prolly i payed 158.99 shipped..and then the $38 to get em installed then $20 to get them uninstalled...WHAT A WASTE!

 

damn whered u get em installed for 38 bucks lol. They take like an hour to do usually. Btw, all test pipes smoke, and it goes away after a week ro so..

 

hey calm down for a sec. every all test pipes smell like shat.. it's actually normal for them to smoke for couple of weeks or for couple of hundred miles. be patient and it should go away..

 

ROFL it happends its normal chill out....

 

he must have never put an exhaust component on a car before.
they all smoke, or through flames

test pipe is a piece of straight pipe...

they are pretty much all exactly the same

 

ive had megan testpipes on for 4-5 months.. took it out because of my new exhaust setup.. and it did smoke, and had a bad smell, but not that bad for me to take it out after 100 miles.. honestly i liked my megan tp, i noticed difference in the top end... and i believe all testpipes are like that, just the weldings? and $38? to install and $20 to take it out? ive been getting $80 quotes to install/uninstall, so i just did it on my own... with the right tools, its a piece of cake...

 

yeah my megan pipes smoked and stank, but i dont mind it. i dont drive a bmw. if anyone wants installs my place does great work for great prices. i paid 50 for install. 400 for headers, and guy knows his sh it.

 

...and the pipes do no make the motor smoke.

 

+1

 

well i wish you all coulda seen this smoke..it was embarrasing as all hell...i thought i had a diesel not a V6..might have just been my luck??dont know..called megan racing and said they had heard of cases of them doing this.Iv had to deal with exhaust componets...but this was rediculous..

 

Do you have a CEL? You do realize with test pipes you don't have catalytic converters anymore?

it probably has to do with the fact the car is not tuned properly and the ECU/engine is running like crap. With a proper tune the car should run fine. Personally, I wouldn't run testpipes without a proper EMS

 

all exhaust smokes like that... When they are manufactured oils get on the inside and outside of the pipe, and usually they keep oil on these kind of pieces to prevent rust while sitting in inventory.

Add to that when exhausts are handled the oils off your hands get on the pipe...

Until all this burns off its going to smell and smoke...

 

This is 100% normal. It will smoke and smell like total *** for a week or so, depending on how much mileage you put down daily. The smell lessens and the smoke goes away completely after that. You still have a bit of a gassy smell because you don't have cats, but it's worth the power!
