When I first cranked mine up this past weekend, it smoked as well. I swapped heads, intake, headers and ORY...so I expected some smoke from burning the oil, finger prints, etc off of the new parts.

After a few minutes it cleared right up.

What all did you change on the car? Just the exhaust?

The smoke is from the oil that they use in the bending process of the headers and pipe. It should go away after a little bit.
