Default RE: smoke comes out the back

If its blue smoke then your burning too much oil, which tends to happen when your cat is fried...not sure about the coolant, perhaps its low, or you have a leak somewhere...If your throwing a CEL for the cat, that means its probably fried and needs replacing, in which case, go with a high-flow unit, they dont cost anymore over the OEM one, plus you'll get some "slight" gains!
