[Engine]: Woo hoo, no coolant.
Well I just dropped the exchaust after the headers and I'm proud to report zero smoke from the headers. SO that means the white smoke is just nothing more than coolant in the mufflers like we thought. I need to button the exhaust back up and take it for a shakedown drive. :D
