I would suggest eliminating the cat to begin with, and if the problem continues look into a 13b swap.

open your hood up and rev the throttle body with your fingers. try to see where the smoke is coming from. Then get back to us

ok, well i do have oil leaking, but not on my header, in the front by the OMP... i doubt its oil seals, and its not coolant smoke for sure.., it drives fine and plenty of power, the smoke smells rich of fuel like exhaust, and it only does it when i rev it to like 7 or 8 grandish without a load. some GTO reved on me, so i had to rev back, but i got smoked.. anyways, not a fuel leak, for sure, cause i just put new injector line and PD on like 6 months ago, do you think it could be coming from that small crack on my main cat/? the crack is kinda by the split air pipe... the car hardly ever smokes, it barely smokes when cold, for about 2 secs then clear exhaust. so i dont know, it seems to be coming from the transmission area, thats why im wondering if its that cat, but i didnt think that much smoke could be coming from such a little crack.

i will get rid of cats as soon as i get enough dinero to do the aux ports actuator conversion thingamajig... please help
