Should I be seeing any light spray of misty smoke?? It doesn't appear to be anything major, but it is faintly noticeable when I am flat out gunning it in first and second. Also, if I am just idling and rev it up fairly high it does the same thing with some watery spray coming out the pipe. Under normal driving conditions everything seems to be clean. Just curious.

First, do you notice this when you start the car and revv it high ? Second, are you talking about the crap that's coming out of the muffler ?

Third, is this what your talking about happens at wot at shifts right ? (smoke fly's outta your muffler)

If so, it's normal, and sweeeet.

 

Is the car COLD by any chance when you do this? It is totally normal for all cars to have some smoke and water coming from the tail pipe when the car is still not up to regular operating temperature or has been driven for not too long and it's cold outside. I am sure you will notice other cars with the same thing. It's just condensation in your exhaust system and crap. BTW, I don't think it's reccomended going full throttle while the car is still cold,

 

I always let my car warm up before any application of heavy throttle And I did this check today and the weather is nice and warm in the mid to upper 60's.

 

I figured I shouldn't worry much about it. Just double checking. Now I just have to learn how to handle my traction problem with these stock rims and tires till I get new ones

 

Small amounts of smokes sometimes come out when you're at WOT. I remember racing a new Viggen and every time he shifted, smoke was coming out. (I had a clear view of his tailpipe considering I was getting my a$$ kicked). I've asked a few people if they notice it out of my car when I race, but they said no.
