The z1 resonated ones i bought smoked for a bit also. Just start it and let it idle for a bit and see if it burns everything off.

it doesnt smoke when i start the car up it only smokes when i drive around for about 30 mins. I can drive around for about 30 mins and it fine but then it throws out white smoke and i pretty sure the 02 sensors are fine if not would that cause it to smoke?

I have test pipes too and the first 2 days I had crazy smoke also but it went away. My friend said its because of the lubercation used when installing it.

if you sprayed any type of white lithium grease, grease, etc...heat off from the exhaust coming will make it smoke. but besides that, shouldn't smoke.

i didnt use any type of lube, grease, sealant or etc. I had a friend tell me that it sounds like it is running to lean and that i might need to get the car remaped. Does anyone think that would work. Thanks for all the help guys...
