1. Well it does smoke under boost, but its only because the temps get so hot so quickly that it starts to burn the oil out of the header wrap.

2. Don't worry! I did this like three or four times! The header wrap really holds the oil and it acts like a wick for a smoke bomb LOL.
I took me two days to burn off all the oil when I spilled a bunch on the header wrap before....and yes everyone looks at you like your car is on fire till it burns away. I purposely removed header wrap on the pipe under where the oil filter is changed just for this reason.

So go find a back road or a street with some neighbors you don't like, and then start running it up and down the road with some full throttle runs in lower gears. The heat will go up tremendously and if you don't give it a chance to cool down it will burn off the oil much quicker, maybe in 20 minutes.

Good luck. You'll be known as the flaming ford around town after that.




1. I meant out of the exhaust, not off of the piping.

2. LMAO, I pulled up to a light and everyone roller their windows up and gave me dirty looks I noticed the crossover pipe and the bottom of the DP goat somewhat soaked and just smolders at this point. Once I get the new PCV valve inplace and check a few things out, I'm off to the industrial areas to burn it off.

Thanks Tom, I don't feel as bad now and am going to clear these issues up this weekend.
