Smoke maybe condensation. If you're not losing oil or coolant. ECM will set code(s) and may compensate for exhaust.

I've been driving for 3 years with full LTH->ORY->Borla exhaust and 92mm FAST LSx Air Intake Manifold \ Throttle Body without a tune. I need to get one, but I think it's only dangerous and immediately mandatory when you change your camshaft or fuel injector size, etc.
