Today my car finally had the true duals installed after the headers were installed a few days ago. I still don't have it back since it was dragging the ground once we got it off the lift, but the guy who did it said he is going to get 2 more brackets for it tomorrow so it will hang up and give me 4" to 5" of clearance. Well, I started the car up with everything installed, and I noticed that there was smoke coming from the front of the car and immediately shut it off. He said that tomorrow he will let it run for a while, and that it is just burning some of the excess paint and crap off the edelbrock LT's. Has anyone experience or even heard of this before. BTW I didn't throw any codes at all, so knock on wood.

If it's the first time it's been started since the header install I'd say it's paint and maybe some oil on the headers that's causing the smoking.

It's more than likely just the burning of oil and all the other crap that gets on things during installs. When I installed my painted headers, the car smoked for about 5 mins before things cleared up.

You have to just be patient and let the heat do its job. CLEAN EVERYTHING OFF.

Thanks so much guys! I was really nervous that something went wrong and my computer just didn't pick it up and just didn't throw a code. At least I can drive my car home in comfort tomorrow. I really appreciate it!

I agree with the others.. Just for safety. Make sure the wires near the starter are clear of the header. They've been know to get burnt.

if they are painted then they are gonna smoke like hell when you start it up cuz all of that paint is gonna bubble up instantly
