Yea my car also had smoke very much like your's but not that heavy. I have a Borla true dual stock headers and had test pipes with resonators. I put the cats on and haven't noticed the smoke anymore until the other day some guy wanted a race and when I took off I noticed heavy smoke in my mirror and it didn't come from my tires.

same exact thing...no videos or anything..it took it about an hour or so for it to start doing it once installed..drove em around for about 20 miles 30 miles..
I just opend up my brand new Top Speed test pipes...im gonna install hopefully saturday when im off.So i guess we will see if my car is a POS or Megan is the real POS..My car jus got dropped off at Nissan to get a new rebuilt tranny..But it was so embarrasing driving around with my Z smoking like its on fire!!and everyone just stairing at you!

i think its the product.Megan racing or enjukuracing.com which i bought these things off of wouldnt give me any $$ Back or anything.Back then thats when you could guy these test pipes for $160...not 65$ on ebay the way you can now...and that is why they are $65!!!

hopefully these Top Speed pipes are good

At the top of this post, my 1st post is a link. Check it out as well. I had the Top Speed test pipes on before I had the Megan Racing. No smoke from these but they were only on for a couple of days with very little driving. Both test pipes I put on had that horrible "squeak" that you can hear in the vids.

Were you able to solve the white smoke problem?

jehamilton_98

No, I didn't have any smoke from the Top Speed test pipes, BUT I didn't have them on for very long. Didn't log in enough miles or run them for a period of time long enough to see if they smoked.

jehamilton_98

I took the Megan Racing pipes off and the smoke gradually went away. Since then, I installed the Injen SES exhaust and there hasn't been one hint of smoke (except for the initial burn off smoke).

I thought that the smoke was me burning oil, but I kept checking my oil level and my car seems to burn oil all the way to the L mark but never any more. If I add a little oil, it slowly burns back down to the L mark but like I said, NEVER any more past that.

My personal opinion is that it was the Megan Racing resonated test pipes. This experience has left a VERY sour taste in my mouth when it comes to Megan Racing and their product.

No smoke from The Top Speed test pipes...Megan blows...and due to the test pipes...every so and so it'll smoke at idle..where it wouldnt with factory cats to help with my decision my car burns oil like its free anymore!..

jehamilton_98

I too have noticed that my car burns oil like crazy. I'm not blowing out smoke or anything like that, but I have to keep a regular check on it to make sure nothing gets harmed. No I have approx 39K on my car and everything runs great. The oil consumption is worrysome.

i am WV350Z i forgot my password and stuff and it kept messin up when id send for a new password....but mines taking 1/4 a qt every 500 miles.but mine does smoke some under WOT when the cars hott or been ran hard...figured it would just be because of the no cats deal...im picking up a JIC single exhaust sunday sooo well see what happens.
