Arrow Little smoke at WOT.

I just installed mufflex off road pipes and now at WOT people say a little white smoke comes out of my pipes?.........is this normal? Happened right after putting those pipes on and NEVER happened before.

sometimes the cars smoke at wide open throttle with the stock exhaust, you just cant really tell. in comparison to the after market exhaust, which is way less restrictive, the smoke can be seen more dense. new pipes sometimes have grease or oil in them, as companies dont clean the inside of them. there is no need to. when the exhaust starts heating up, those greases or oils tend to start burning off too. it adds to the smoke effect. i know this because i had an exhaust shop a little while ago. hope this helps
