i have the white smoke thing in my 8, but it started after i put on the race pipe from racing beat and it smells like 2stroke exhaust because of the burnt oil, i thought that was normal? has anyone heard of that happening or should i now be worried?

Hold the pedal to the floor, and crank it for 10 seconds. Switch the key off. Try to start it again without the touching the pedal.

See if that works. You might have coolant in the housings, preventing ignition.
