Default smoke issue.....after header and full exhaust install

This is my set up. Tsudo 4-2-1 header 30 inch resonator tsudo mid pipe and his hi power exhaust. I noticed my exhaust has more smoke. Blueish smoke and it smells realy bad. I checked all the nuts and bolts for leaks. Everything. Seems ok. What should I do

well, also, you don't have any catalytic convertors on your car now either, so it will be just a little smokey too, but yeah, new piping and exhaust components can have some residue on them that just have to slowly burn off with the head of the exhaust gases.
