I recently installed an o/r x pipe and now I notice that whenever I give it gas blue smoke comes out but not when I'm driving down the street. It's only when the car is still. When I had the stock h pipe it wouldn't do that ever. Any ideas of what it could be??

Hey Bullitt3042,
Blue/Gray smoke is caused from burning oil. It can be a numerous of things. It could be valve seals, piston rings, PCV valve... pretty much anything that prevents oil from getting into the combustion chambers is most likely going out. How many miles are on your car?

the car has around 140k miles not 100% on the amount of miles it has because the previous owner didn't calibrate the speedo when he put 4.30 gears.
