 Yes I was in Sport mode & when he was behind me I was
flooring it
 thats when I was noticing the smoke.
 I did get over a few times to let him pass & while
cruising I didn't notice any smoke out the pipes.
  I'de like to thank Mike & Dan for there knowledge
both gave me the same response as to why i noticed the
smoke,
 but a few listers said to change my OX sensor which I
did only one thing though,
 darn thing was welded in there I had a 5ft piece of
pipe on a wrench trying to move the freaking thing
 but it finaly came cleaned out the threads on the
inside of the pipe bung &
 used plenty of antiseaze on this one.
Thanks
Ron
