PPE has pretty clean tunes, so not much smoke.

exhaust does help. Mufflers and cats go against smoke.

how come people say the stock intake is good, and then people say that having a free flowing intake will make less smoke, less smoke = more fuel burned = more power because your using more of the fuel. am i wrong?

They all play a role. The exhaust will make a difference but IMO the intake won't do anything for you.

My intake makes a world of diference in smoke. The stock intake will make thick black smoke. My aftermarket intake will only make alittle smoke. There is a huge difference in smoke but can't really tell any difference in power but can in mpg.
