White smoke!! help diagnose
My friends GSR is pushing out white smoke from the exhaust when revving 6-8000Rpm...what could be the cause???
Mods: intank, header, cat back exhaust..
the dealership is giving him the run around saying these mods are the cause but i don't see how at all.

white smoke is usually coolant so maybe his head gasket is leaking.Are you sure that the smoke is white and not just a slight tint of blue?those mods wouldn't cause the engine to smoke....does he have a breather filter?

Coolant is the most probable cause even thorugh it is quite strance it only does it between 6000 and 8000 rpm. Might be a small hole some where that only lets some cooland pass with the high pressure generated at that rpm. Dose it continue with the engin properly warmed up and every thing?

I also thought it was coolant..engine has 35,000 miles on it with an aem cai, dc sports stainless 4-2-1, and tanabe cat back...so head gasket?? would cause it to smoke around 6000-8000Rpm...?

Re: White smoke!! help diagnose (MiraiZ)
Most likely if he is just revving the engine and you can see white smoke it is condensation in the exhaust. I have the N1 and if I rev my engine (not moving) after she is warmed up it will sometimes have white smoke from the condensation of the exhaust. Do a Leakdown test to be sure it isn't the headgasket.
