Message	Ryan, there are 3 guys here in Bakersfield with smoking exhaust (usually during high RPM/high boost shifting). My car went approximately 1500 miles after installing test pipes before the smoking began. Another local guy is having the EXACT same problem, and this is within 500 miles of installing test pipes. The third guy (Lee Woolfolk), is having smoking, but has had the test pipes on for quite some time. I'm starting to think there may be some validity to the rumor passed around a while ago about lack of backpressure causing turbo seal failure... any thoughts?
