I've checked my test pipe time and agian and never found anything. I just know it started when I put it on. Is your oil ever low? I change my oil every 3k miles no matter what. I put amsol in it and I know you can run it way beyond that but I am funny about it.

Since you have a testpipe, take a nice quality video camera and set it up behind and to the side of the car in a clear area during the day with plenty of light. Just record the car and give it a few good revs through the entire powerband then watch it to see if and how much blue smoke you get. A little light black/grey smoke should be normal.

I'm thinking you probably don't have any oil leaks but youre smelling the unburnt fuel and gases with a little burning oil through the exhaust.
