Default sparking

i have a 95 ls integra, i was getting on it on the interstate and the people behind me said there were sparks coming out the exhaust bouncing on the ground, like throwing a cigarette out the window. i just got custom fab exhaust welded on so i was thinking it was from that or was i running to rich?

i'm guessing by "new" you mean rebuilt?l the only other thing I can tell you is change your oil and look for metal fragments to see if anything is bein sheered on the inside

well i guess it could be a simple case of built up metal shavings in the exhaust like you thought
