HELP, I GOT SMOKE!!!!
Ok,just installed a scorpion carbon fiber slip on,besides the great sound and looks and a test ride I come back and smoke is coming out of the
exhaust,from under my seat and all around the pipe.I could not make out where it was coming from the two cables for the original exhaust were
touching but they were not burnt,and for smoke to be coming out of the inside of the pipe means its something internall right.Is this normal for a
brand new slip on,is there something in the pipe that burns up until it is broke in.PLEASE HELP!!!!

well this doesn't sound normal. are you sure there wasn't anything inside the pipe when you installed it? like paper or plastic? when i installed mine i looked inside to be sure nothing fell inside during shipment. is there a smell to the smoke? ie. burning plastic?

Yeah it smells like plastic or even rubber,I think I'm gonna take it apart again and look inside the pipe,or even stick a clothes hanger down the exhaust being it is straight threw now maybe I can hook something in there and bring it out.The pipe has a lifetime warranty but I still have to send in my damn warranty card.Looks like I got more work to do.

It's new. You need to ride it long enough to burn off whatever is coating the inside and probably outside of the pipes. Don't worry about it.

YOu should smell buring oil...not rubber. I'd take it apart and look...might be a rubber part made its way into the down pipe? Might be as you take it apart you'll find the problem. Some smoking with an oil smell is normal on the first start up and burn in, I'd be checking into rubber smell.
