Exhaust Header smoke coming out from between exhaust header and heat shield?
98 grand prix gtp, 3800 series 2 sc, 100000 miles. it smells like burning rubber, it has done this since i got it tuned up at tires plus. it only smokes from the front exhaust headers. is it possible there is a piece of debris in there thats burning? i dont drive it much so when i go to starrt it up about once every 2 weeks it turns over for a few seconds before it gets going, but when it does that it leaks an oily fluid from the engine is this normal? do i have an exhaust leak and unburnt fuel leaks out? any feedback would help, thanks.
most likely the valve cover is leaking & they are not that hard to replace on that engine. It is also posible that the valve cover bolts are loose, you might try snugging them up, not too much though. You could also try spraying some brake cleaner on the manifold with the engine could to remove any excess oil. careful some vrake cleaners are flammable.
Oil leaking on the exhaust manifold can catch on fire.

2" on that displacement is wrong. On a N/A v/8 you want at least 2.5 closer to 3" nothing above. Typical shorty headers are FACTORY direct replacements meaning you don't have to replace other exhaust components. If that's what they are all you need to do is replace the remainder of the exhaust with a new cat-back and high flow downpipe/cat. Should be available somewhere.
TI-Tech probably means it's some sort of titanium coating but not actually titanium…meaning they'll be strong and less prone to rust. (Can't say just basing on what you said). Usually replacing steel with stainless will get you a little boost in power due to flow and bigger diameter. You generally get the most power from the replacement of the cat with a different unit (usually "high flow") it reduces the back pressure so you shouldn't really bump up the diameter of the piping (more than .5") or remove mufflers/resonator. Just my opinion… The best mufflers you can get are Borla which will dampen the noise (magnaflow is okay but too rumbly); usually a crisp note. Cherry Bomb and flowmaster are a bad idea if you don't want to lose your hearing/the cops pay attention to exhaust violations. Tips don't do anything except improve the look.
