A few months ago I was on the highway cruising in my eclipse. A WW Evo came up behind me. It was a 2010 or 2011. He gunned it a sling shot around me. But his car was smoking out the exhaust really bad. My understanding with any car is if you are getting smoke out the exhaust it usually isnt a good thing. Have you noticed any new noises coming from the engine? Any lack of power? Any other signs of issues basically?

Remember: White Smoke = Bad
Black Smoke = Rich/Normal
