problems after exhaust install

I just installed an ets exhaust, dp and ams test pipe. I got a service engine light from not havin a defouler(wish I just got ets test pipe) my problem is I get alot of blue smoke when I get on the gas. Is this from not having the defouler and the sensor throwing off the fuel? Or maybe cause im not tuned yet? Another problem is I get high idle, around 2500k its after th car is warmed ujp kitsfine when its cold. I can turn car off and back on then is fine.

Not sure about your idle.

On new exhausts there is usually an oil coating inside to keep it from rusting and your car is probably just burning it off imo. But keep your eye on it to see if it ever goes away.

I had a similiar issue after my AMS dp and hfc. Did you pull the codes? I was overboosting and had high RPMs at idle.

Tuning the car fixed the problem. While waiting for the tune, clearing the code and driving conservatively kept the RPMs normal.

It's best to pull the code and see what's going on. It could a be a few things. These cars are sensitive.

When in doubt, get it tuned! At the very least you'll be able to see how the car responds while hooked to a dyno and computer in a controlled eviroment.
