Well on my 88 n/a I had to replace the rings (Seals) that go from the manidfold down to the pipe below. They where a disaster. I got them back and they where like onions! Smoke was coming threw there. BTW my car.. It was a BHG.. You may want to start thinking that one. I mean.. If so.. There is a small fix that works for a VERY SHORT TIME! You CANNOT drive your car hard at all either with this method... I found this out the hard way and had to do it a second time..

i had my grandfather and my dad look at her and both said the HG was fine. i haf a BHG run though my head many of times. i was thinking about getting a new exhaust pipe from autozone for 105. but my dad said the leak from the exhaust was the problem. so he keeps going back to its the trans that the problem. also duly noted on not driving her hard the only time i do is usually on the highway i go 80.

I didn't think the transmission could cause smoke to come out your tail pipe.. But honestly, I'm always learning. I never ran into that or seen that type of problem (noob me i guess). Regardless.. If you think its a pipe don't you think you could just seal it with some sealer. I have done that one before. Sealer for exhaust pipes.. Err, though if it's to high up on the pipe the pressure will be to great and poof.. Back to square 1.

no smoke isnt coming out of the tail pipe but the down shaft. the acceleration problem my dad thinks is the trans not the exhaust leak

cheeper the better lol. and will do on the pictures. lets see you got the exhaust manifold on the engine then you got the down pipe bolted to it. a little way down theres heat shield or something around it. mines rusted and rattles when i drive my guess is it punctured a hole into it. thats ware the smoke is coming from. and comes up into the engine bay witch is why i thought that the engine was burning of coolent and thought nothing of it till i got home.

Did you check the oil? Color is normal? or looks lighter like coolant is in it? So you got the heat thing going down there.. You can't see where it's coming from. Have you tried revving the engine from the hood. You know.. So you can see where it's coming from (I am sure you did this so just ignore me until someone smarter comes along)..
