Would that work with the right fittings & a bracket?

They operate off of a different concept. I have proven the AOS doesn't help or hurt power even when completely deleted from the system.

BTW- after changing an AOS it is normal for the cats and mufflers as well as the intake to still have residual oil from the occurrence.. It can take up to a week for the smoke to totally stop.

Nope, not at all.. This would only be for track vehicles not to be used on any public streets or even fitted with a license plate.

Thus far this has only been tested in a lab setting (dyno cell) and hasn't ever hit the street.

Well i drove it home today without the slightest bit of SMOKE!!! Woohoo! A good ending to a bad beginning

Time for a beer.

congrats! here's to many more smoke-free miles.

anti-bling · 07-24-2010, 07:34 PM

Well, those miles were cut short. I spent all day fabbing up a mount for my stebro muffler. I got it on!!! WOOOT! 10 miles later...smoke. Again. Just as bad.

Im trying to stay as positive as possible...so heres some more info on when it happens. Hopefully i can get the "why" from you 986 geniuses.

I have given more thought as to when it starts...

It runs perfect for miles, not a hint of smoke...the last 3 times its happened either going up a very steep hill (i live on one) or accelerating ( to freeway speeds) up a local on-ramp thats has a small climb to it....

Its got to be an internal engine issue....ugh.

DOESNT LOOK OR SMELL LIKE OIL!!!!!! eh?

Is it just me or is that coolant? Uh oh...cracked head? Please give me some opinions...i think im making headway. If it is indeed not oil i have NO faith in my tech.
