It's just the WD40 burning off.

What are you worrying about?

Firstly, I hope the dealer told you to invest in some comma's too?

No need to keep WD40'ing the bolts, just do it probably the night before you want to remove the exhaust. Whatever you put on a hot exhaust will burn off, as you are finding out.

Basically don't worry about the smoke or the smell perfectly normal. Also we have a workshop section for such queries.

Burning WD40 is up there in my top 10 smells, man up and sniff it till you pass out!

I think you might need to put WD40 on your full stop and comma keys...

ACF50 also has a nice aroma and smokes for longer on a hot downpipe. Om nom nom.

I use WD40 to test which cylinders aren't firing on a cold-started engine by spraying it on the headers.

Puff - puff - no puff - puff = No3

It's far easier to just soak the bolts a few days before you change the exhaust.

It's probably not doing too much anyway, since most of it is just burning off as you're finding out.
