lepetitprince Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 ok.. so after my friend and i put new y pipe in my brat, i have noticed a smoke coming out under the hood. i dont exactly sure where it is coming from but im assuming that its from the y-pipe. It has some grease and oil on it and my friend is kept telling me that the smoke is from the buring grease and oil, but i just want to make sure its nothing too crazy. i was wondering if you guys can help me thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I had a leaky axle cup that leaked grease onto the cat. The cup has a plug in the bottom that can come loose (and often seem to do just that on remaned axles). But your friend probably is right. A bit of oil on the exhaust will smoke for a while after installation. I had the same problem with a y-pipe I used off an engine with a blown HG.

GD Yep got a Y pipe from archemitis that was from an EA81 with a blown head gasket. Slapped it on my EA82. Man that thing stunk for a week I swear. Soon as she got upto temp the smells came rolling out. Give it a day or two. Keep an eye on your oil level and coolant level. If you arent loosing any but still smoking I'd say its just yoru Y pipe. Make sure the headers are flush to the heads. Had that problem before and can be a stinky problem. As GD noted check your inner CV boots. Could have a tear which tends to fling packing grease all OVER. Might be flinging some onto the cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
