So i installed the ballade header
I have a 60mm test pipe, k&n fpik and stock exhaust with aftermarket mufflers on MY05. It sounds great.. It got a little bit louder and deeper. Ive noticed a little bit gains in torque maybe some up top. I have noticed that it kicks more black smoke out the tail pipes from revving at idle. I did a ecu relearn. Should i be worried abbout the extra black smoke from the pipes?

I wish there were some independent, before/after dyno numbers with this header. I've heard it's a copy of the Hytech.

Update: So the ECU seems like it learned its there and blows ZERO smoke out the pipes now. It definitely seems it needed to learn it was there.
On the other hand even without a tune it seems to have picked up some power throughout the power band.
