after installing my headers ory and catback i am getting exhaust smoke. It shows up about 2-3 minutes after startup and continues and is a white to light gray color. Is this just the oil from the mandrel bending stil burning off or is the computer dumping a bunch of extra fuel in the engine due to my not having the rear o2s tuned out yet, or could I have the front o2 insufficient switching errors from the o2s being to far downstream to heat up properly that i have heard people have had

completly normal.. its gonna smoke for a lil while until everything burns off.

so that is the color for that stuff burning off then, how long should i expect to see this, and how long until it at least starts to lessen

Uh...mine smoked out a whole shop with open headers for 5 minutes. It was white smoke btw. It did it for another few minutes with the exhaust back together too.

Your just burning off coating and oil for the most part.

All new exhaust will smoke for a little while. But if your always burning a blueish/white smoke....your burning oil.
