Slight trace of blue smoke coming out of the exhaust ...(m)
after installing Supersprint cat-back. Is this normal? It happened as soon as I started the engine after installation, and then disappeared after a few WOT runs (oil temp at 200 degrees). Could this have been caused by burning some sort of oil applied to the exhaust when new? The smoke did smell like oil burning. Just a bit paranoid because I just installed MTM chip yesterday and had 5K service done Friday using 0 - 30 Mobil 1. I appreciate your comments. Thanks.

It's like a cloud of dust right? If so it's just some of the junk inside the new exhaust blowing out (maybe a corrosion inhibitor treatment or something I dunno). Don't worry, it will go away shortly. The SS on a friend's e36 bimmer was the same way, as have been a few grapefruit shooters on friends' ricer cars.
