Y pipe installed, getting smoke from the pipes? Like evaporating...

Once the pipes get warm, it starts smoking from the pipes. I looked underneath the car and it seems to be coming from the pipes themselves, not the flanges/seals.

Is this oxidation or something being released?

Give us an update after you drive it for a bit. Shouldn't have any problems.
