Mornin all. 
Just changed to full decat. TSL d/pipe, centre, and Firestorm bb.
HAve only had it on a few days, and i've noticed now and again, when sitting in traffic, that it's a wee bit smokey.
Should i be worried ??
Car has done 68k. MY98.
Cheers
Johnny

Johnny,
what colour is the smoke - You'll probably see a bit more white smoke until the exhaust is fully up to temp., as the CATs are no longer collecting the moisture. IE any moisture in the engine / exhaust is showing straight away....
Mine gives a bit of white about 2-10 mins after startup, when stationary - but it goes after its hot....
