i just moved up north to washington, so this weather is new to me...

and i wanted to know if everyone car blows smoke ...im no idiot and i know that when its cold there will be some smoke but i notice alot of cars that dont and i was wondering if the longtubes and y-pipe have something to do with that.


because even after warming up its still smokes

btw its white smoke

 

sounds like your burning oil does it have a blue tint to it or just straight white smoke.

 

or coolant, but if all your fluid levels are fine and your cars not doing anything different i wouldnt really worry bout it.

 

Is the y pipe off road??? My car started smoking in the cold when the cats were gone. Probably not a big problem.

 

Most cars smoke around my area. When it is cold and rainy or snowing it could be condensation in the exhaust.

 

are you sure its really smoking or is it just the same stuff you see when you're exhaling when its cold out?

 

Its probably just condensation. My TA has LT headers ORY and it will blow white condensation even after its warmed up. If its under 40 mine will almost never go away because of how little of an exhaust I have. The warm air only has to pass through the pipes. And the LT's are supposed to get more hot air away from the motor faster so that makes a difference. My stock Silverado with the 6.0 will do the same thing when it under 30. I don't think you have anything to worry about.

 

yep it sounds like this is it...its not really smoke just condensation and since not all cars condensate as much as mine i didnt know if i had a problem...thnx guys

 

You need to remember, a v8 is different from a v6 or 4banger also. More condensation and especially if you have LT's with a ORY. Just condensation prob, dont worry about it man.
