Help white smoke coming out of exhaust!

so i just installed my doug thorley long tube headers with the URD y-pipe and im getting an odd amount of white smoke coming out of the end of the exhaust... could any body diagnose my problem? i had no problems previous to the install and it i understand that ill smell the difference cause of removing the cats... help please

 

Is the "white smoke" sweet smelling? Could be coolant. Do you know if the headers and pipes are shipped "pickled"? Meaning that they are oil coated to prevent corrosion while sitting in stock/shipping.

That's it from me....

 

Was the white smoke on start up or all the time even after it reached operating temp. what was the out side temp at the time.

 

Don'tcha love it when we post in harmony.....

 

i have no idea what this thread is about... I came in here and all i saw was this



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GOOD MORNING to you too!!!!!

 

the temp was around low to mid 70's white smoke was still there when it was at operating temp. and i think it may have been pickled but not sure... ive been driving it around and im not too sure if the white smoke is still there... im thinking that its the header gaskets i tried reusing them from the stock gasket but i shall be replacing them this week

 

so i was driving it today and it didnt seem like it was smoking too much, im thinking that it might just be steam, however is that normal when installing the long tubes? does anyone else have problems like this?

 

yeah so im gonna replace some gaskets and ill see what the verdict is...
