exhaust manifold install now smoking exhaust
Is it normal for there to be smoke exiting the "muffler" after i put on a new header and test pipe?
it doest smell like oil.

yes. i think there is oil on the piping so it doesnt rust while in storage or something. go drive it around some and it will go away.

ok another question.
now that its all hooked up i have a strange hissing noise when i am on the gas and the car seems weaker than with the old 2" dc header.
this doesnt seem right. could it be the header gasket? what do you think

the testpipe and header will allow for more sound.
sounds described by text are impossible to pinpoint.
if you checked all the gasket areas for leaks and found none, then you are fine.
