    do you mean 1 out of the 2 pipes on each side or do you mean smoke on the driver vs passenger side?

    did you unplug your valves? if so, exhaust gases will only be coming out of 1 of the 2 pipes per side

    Is this a 360 or 430?
    How many miles on it?
    Do you have OEM exhaust manifolds?
    Is any other part of the exhaust NOT OEM?

    And what do you mean by "smoke"? White, blue, ??? You may need to post a vid if you want any useful feedback OR provide much more detail. One other question, is it running rough and are there any codes?

    Like skid said is it running okay? Maybe only half the engine is running. I had that happen a couple of weeks ago and had to shut it off and restart it.

    Dare I say, anytime you put eight Italians in one room together, they're not going to wake up and go to sleep at the same time

    Yep, my guess was going to be limp mode but there is not enough info to make anything but a WAG.

    There is just coming exhaust out of 2 of 4 pipes. ZERO from the back right pipes. The car has not been used in over a month. When I started the car, it was a flash thing with the lights + ( almost not starting ) could it be it was not starting on all cylinders ? thanks again

    It has not been used in a couple of months. Could it be that the battery was Almost flat and just started "half" the engine?

    There is "limp mode" when the battery is too week to deliver AMPs to all the ECU and starts only half of the engine

    Sometomes you can see odd behaviour of the instrument cluster too.
    I have it once and only one bank of cylinders was running after starting. RPMs was low and it sounds very different, you can feel the temperature difference also .........believe me!

    Lesson learned. Use always your ctek battery charger on your FCar.

    Thank you so much for the comment! I connected the ctek a couple of hours a ago. it was on 3/8 now its on 6/8 so It looks like the battery still lives :)

    So you think there is nothing more to worry about starting it up again when its on 8/8 on the ctek charger ?

    I didn’t know the creek was strong enough to charge a very low battery.. I’d charge it with a real charger personally.

    If you got the ”one bank running only problem” you would hear the engine running really rough (if running at all). That would probably mean a shot ECU, though. Don’t know if that can happen due to low battery voltage..?
    Poorly maintained battery can cause all sorts of problem in our cars, I’m sad to say.

    Did not quite understand this part ? Do you think I have a broken ECU ? I will always use the c-tek from now on :) When the c-tek is going 8/8 and green, its still safe to try starting the car? Thanks again people for the help.

    It's actually a pretty common thing. When I bought my car the lead tech said it happens on occasion and like I said mine did it recently. I just shut it off and restarted then it was fine. That's one time in almost a year of having the car.

    If you get 8/8 just start again. Put key in position 2 just wait 60sec. befor starting the engine.

    The car startet right up again :) But I feel there is a bit more exhaust and heat coming from just one side. Is this normal ?

    Thanks again! I swear to the c-tek now.

    Don't both banks at some point prior to the silencer (muffler) or at it come together anyway?

    My 575 was v low battery recently after I forgot to plug in Ctek over 2 months. Lights went on dimly, turned over once, no more, didn't start, dash lights were on. Overnight on Ctek cured it. I think it would have been a different story with a completely dead battery though.
