Thats just stuff inside the pipes burning off since this is the first time the pipe has got really hot. Its nothing to worry about and should go away in a couple days at most.

It's just breaking in. Should't last more than a week.

Nothing to worry about. Just oil residues, dust, and so forth. Or, a grimey, garbage-eating rodent crawled inside your exhaust system to stay warm one chilly night, and got cooked before it could escape when you started your car the next morning. And now it is rotting, juicy, and full of fat, writhing maggots... J/K!
