Re: exhaust smoke in VTEC (TypeR 599)
first take off that bra, it makes the car look shitty, old people use bra's ur type r shouldnt. but ya id go with a test pipe, might as well upgrade if u need to replace .... considering a test pipe is cheaper and adds more horse

Re: exhaust smoke in VTEC (SuperTech)
if it was oil, the smoke would be blue. 155 Whp is low. Is your cat clogged. Did you dyno with the cat not hooked up?

Yeah, I am running rich aswell, blowing all kinds of smoke...hehehe. People hate to drive behind me but I can't help it if they can't catch up 
.... yeah if like they said if you get another cat your just gonna kill it. For me I am still using my test pipe so, no problems there, but definetly I will need to tune it and that will fix it.
Sorry, if I overlooked it, but do you have any mods done to your car already?

White smoke :
thats water... either trough condenation or a blown headgasket.... usually just condensation
its hard to tell black and blue smoke apart unless your right up on it..
if it is right when vtec hits logically youd think its dumping fuel so it would be black RICH smoke..
however most cars i have ever seen that do this.. its rings.
its the back of your car covered in black **** after 5 minutes of driving?

Re: exhaust smoke in VTEC (houston)
use a vafc and/or adjustable fpr with guage to lean out the mixture a little.
ironically, i usually richen up my mixture during vtec because the car pulls harder imo.
