Anybody puffing blue?
I just noticed something very alarming today. I have a Spoon Sports exhaust manifold, mated to a Spoon Sports downpipe, Spoon testpipe and Zigen 304 Border Speed N1 catback.
I believe it is quite free flowing and there is evidence of this with all the black splotches on the rear bumper and all the way up to the right corner of the wing...!
What concerned me was when the car is sitting at idle for a while...engine is up to operating temps...when you blip the gas...it puffs blue...but if you continue to blip the gas (like you are trying to get somebody to race) it goes away....
You wait a few more minutes and you repeat the same thing and the car will puff blue once...and then nothing.....?!
I've checked my oil and it burns a bit...I'm just wondering if this is the beginning of the end!?
I currently use Mobil 1 15W50 (just had a track day) and I NEVER overfill.
Any thoughts out there?

Could it be they were improperly installed?

A little puff is okay. Check your plugs and see if they are fouled. If so thats excessive and its tiem to see your mechanic or whoever did your motor.
i think its ok, the reason why u see some blue smoke come out is because u let off the throttle at high revs. If its linear constant rev there wil be no smoke, just like when i change gears, my buddy tells me i blow smoke.
