hey, by the way im a little late on this thread but the smoke was more than likely the gaskets burning in. that always happens when installing new exhaust parts.

But, I do know I will need to do something with them soon. My current exhaust is the stock X pipe followed by Magnaflow from the cats back.

Dude, you probably wasted money buying that MIL eliminator. Did your CEL come on?

It's actally been one of my better investments it was very cheap and NO check engine light since early June. The Ford dealer actually put me up to it, they ran a diagnostic on the check-engine-light and said it was an 02 sensor; he told me he had heard of a way of eliminating the sinsor with out affecting anything else and I began the search. I hated the check-engine light being on (people would always see it on and bla, bla) and I didn't want to spend $300 plus putting in new cats, we do not have vehicle emission inspection here so I figured what the heck, I'll give it a try.
