Bad Piston Rings??

Ok when I'm WOT in 2nd and 3rd, my car blows some smoke out the back...it's not real thick, but it still smokes. My roomates Evo does the same, so I thought it was normal. These Mustang owners tell meeh that I fried my Piston rings and need to replace. I told him it was because of the Premium gas and no Cat Converter...Ne Ideas on this? Thanks, Kevin

Came up with this on the first try. This is a normal thing when you don't run a cat. The evo runs rich normally, most boosted cars do, couple that with the fact that you're running a no cat exhaust, and you have your answer.

My advice - Dont get car advice from Mustang owners. About the only thing our cars have in common is that they run on gasoline.
