Default Help me asap!

well today I took my ws6 out for a drive.. 2 weeks ago I was tuned by frost and my car has been runung really good but the last two days I feel like a small loss in power the problem I have is whenever I start my car on a cold start it makes this wierd kind of ticking/grasshopper noise not a nock though. only at idle then when I hit the gas it seems to goaway When the car is warm If i start it the car doesnt make the noise but today after I kinda got on 3rd gear it seemed a little slow and after I slowed down a large amount of smoke was coming out of my exhaust i immediaetly turned my car off my engine seemed fine just the ticking of my headers I started it back up after 15 min no noise and no smoke I have no lights on and all gauges are normal does anyone know what is happeneing thanks again!!

do a compression check and see if you have bad rings, as shown by the smoke and the loss of power, but i'm not sure what could be making noise like a grasshopper, but then again i don't know what a grass hopper sounds like...
