    Ok I pretty much have everything to pass inspection, but my exhaust smokes like a freight train. I don't know what I can do to fix it, does anybody have any idea on what I could do to atleast make it not smoke as bad? I wish I knew more about cars cause I always feel stupid posting on here about something and it always turns out to be simple, but I'm stumped. Someone told me it's the oil getting in the gas, but Idk anything about that, or where to begin to fix that. I pretty much do everything myself because it gives me the experience after that to do it again if need be, plus I'm flat broke.

    Does it smell sweet like antifreeze or like nasty burning oil?
