6.0 silverline exhaust problem
Hey guys i've got a problem with my truck and i need help. I have a 2006 F-350 6.0 and i just put a turbo back silverline kit on it. Everything has been great but recently i noticed after i start it and drive down the road she starts smoking when i stop. When i accelerate it looks like i did a burn out but it comes out of the pipes. Once the motor hits operating temp the smoke stops for the most part. I'm way confused i guess eliminating the cat is messing everything up but i'm not sure and everyone i turn to has no idea either. it still has factory intake, no tuner and just exhaust so i think i'm letting out to much air and not taking enough in which will be cured soon when i do a tuner and intake, but if anyone can help me please i need it because it shouldn't be smoking thanks if you have any feed back

Any performance issues? Any DTC's? How many miles on your truck?
A blind guess would be EGR - pull it and see what it looks like (since it is relatively easy). Could also be a number of other things - turbo, injectors, sensirs, etc. More info is needed.

no performance issues aside from a slight decrease in mpgs andit seems to have lost a little bit of that torquey snap but other then that no codes no engine light. imat 29000 and it has never had anything done to it. i know the 6.0s are known to clog egrs from eccessive idiling so i wanna take mine off and check it. the smoke is like a gray bluish color and doesnt smell like anything aside from burnt exhaust so basically im baffled

I just got out from under my truck and found when we installed the exhaust nobody ever put the front 3-1/2 inch clamp on pipe. I just installed it and took for a rdie although the trcuk wasn't totally cold i noticed a decrease in smoke almost none. It's currently cooling down to cold so i can take for another ride and verify that was the problem. If anyone has run into exhasut sucking air and blowing whiteish/gray smoke until operating temp due to loose or missing clamp let me know thanks
