When mandrel bent tubing is new, is still has machine lube in it from the bending process, so it might smoke for a few days until the mandrel lube burns off.... Thats something to think about before jumping to conclusions..

A test pipe is a pipe that gets rid of the cat so its a Strait pipe that continues the flow of exhaust from the downpip back to the muffler. Sometimes because the test pipe defeats the purpose of the smog legal cat u have lil sparks or fireballs shoot out the exhaust its pretty kool. Andi also wonder if a VFAC would fix that prob.
