That too. When I first installed my headers and cats actually, there was visible smoke rising out of the engine bay, which I thought for sure was an exhaust leak in my install. Turns it out it was just burnoff from the metals of the new components as well as other things on the car experiencing new levels of heat. After one good highway run the smoking stopped.
