Message	Most do not smoke. The cats will burn off quite a bit of oil that can get past the seals and cover up a small turbo seal leak. With down test pipes and test pipes, If you have a turbo seal leaking at all you will know it. With plenty of cars that have run 6 digits with down pipes and test pipes and no smoke, I would think it is safe to say that they are killing seals.
