flowmaster on a 318is

unless it is really cold then that is oil smoke coming out of your exhuast, hence the reasoning behind valve guide seals (aka stem seals...they go under your valve springs).

Werd .

But the giveaway is the fact that the smoke is coming out after the throttle is closed .

No biggie in the overall scheme of things really .
You could probably (and most likely will) drive that thing for years without any real mechanical work being performed .

ill admit it does sound sorta ricier, however its nothign compared to what ive heard from magnaflow or dynamax, we had a few laying around and tried em out the flowmaster sounded the best
as for the valve guide seals what makes you know that? not being a dick at all but is there a certain sound or something?

[JasonC]

It finally worked. Does sound a little rice. Flowmasters sound best on V8's with loppy cam's

[mtechnik]

Yeah maintanence.

I got to see one vid. Cool. Are you gunna post any of you reversing at ultra-high speeds? LOL

[JasonC]

I think youtube's site is down, cause it will not load anything.

[Teaguer]

Sounds like rice . And you need new valve guide seals .
