could be an exhaust leak due to the person installing ur exhaust..u exhaust shouldn't smoke unless itz cold or just turned on ur car after full day rest...

i called the shop i bought it from and they said that because its new it will smoke for a few days untill the system settles in.. when its the car is off the tips release smoke till it cools off and it smells funny..

That is normal for new exaust parts. It is some type of coating burning off the piping on the inside. It will go away after the product breaks in. Not all do this. Some times they do.
