I have noticed that there is vibration when I first hit the throttle now after I had my Injen SES exhaust installed. It is only when I first hit it. I have test pipes so the exhaust is extremely loud. I am assuming the vibration is due to the extreme loudness of this exhaust. Does this sound logical or is this something I should look further into? Does anyone else have this vibration? Also, since this was my first exhaust install, I was kinda freaked out when I first started my car and drove off. As soon as the exhaust got hot, I got massive amounts of blue smoke of of the pipes. I was told that this was just some type of protective finish on the inside of the pipes burning off. It also had a terrible smell. Does this sound right. I drove about 35 miles yesterday and it stopped smoking after about 10-15 miles. I guess this is just an FYI if its your first exhaust install as was mine. I will take some pix of the installed system today or tomorrow and post them here. Oh yeah, it only cost me $50 for the install!

I have the exact same problem with my g35 injen exhaust. I dont think the exhaust was bent right because it is insanely close to the bottom of the car. I will probably have a friend of mine who makes custom headers re-weld the pipes to the flanges in a different position. Also, I dont know if you have had fiberglass on you bumper or not, but I did for about 3k miles and now I think my reasonators are empty cause I have a lot of rasp from my test pipes. I dont think injen is going to do anything about this so I am thinking about packing the resonators with stainless steel wool. As far as the exhaust I got, they must have used the shittiest fiberglass packing from home depot or something because it doesn't hold together at all.
