Question about why my exhaust was smoking after some spirited driving. I have about 300 miles on the exhaust(b&b exhaust). But this was the first time i really pushed the car.

Have you talked with the guys at b&b? If it didn show any signs on the dash and performance was fine, I would drive again to duplicate the same and if happened again i would start freaking out !

Do you mean car running or not? I never noticed smoke when I had my B&B regardless (well except for the normal cold-weather "smoke"). I don't see how the muffler, per se, could smoke. But, ...???

Was the car running or not? Either way, how long did the smoke persist?

oh ya sorry the car was off we were sitting at the gas station. Like 5 to 10 mintutes the as long as our little stop was. I called b&b they said that it could be the oil used when they make there bend is burning off.
