exhaust smoke

i have noticed a lot more smoke coming from my exhaust lately and i noticed more of it after i put on my budget y-pipe, anyone else experience this, nothing is wrong with my car, im just curious. also it could be because i put on my y-pipe right after the first day it got cold and here in IL we havnt had a day warmer than 40 F, so could it just look like more due to the cold?

thanks

I would say the cold. I have noticed that the 4th gen Max puts out a lot more condensation when its cold outside than many other cars at idle regardless of the temp of the motor.......

I noiced the same thing but you have to expect it to smoke more. After all, you just got rid of 2 extra cats.

Is it a light wispy white smoke or a dark grey smoke?
