replaced cat all the way to my mufflers and now it smokes

i needed to replace my main cat and get mufflers so that i could pass emissions and so i talked to a friend to get me a cat and mufflers and he did. the only catch was that these stock pieces came from a turbo II that had ist seals pop. so obviously tons of oil went all threw the exhaust right. before i was just driving with my 2 pre cats gutted and a main cat with no mufflers and no insane smoke. but now i have that dirty exhaust and i am smoking to high heaven especially around 3k idol or driving. does anyone have any suggestions or easy answers as to what is going on to my car? if you need more info please ask. my AIM is Tdog898 thank you

It can take a good long while for oil to burn out of an exhaust system. If there's a lot of oil in it, it may smoke for quite some time if driven normally.

I suggest an hour or two of 6000 RPM driving. That should heat things up quite enough to clear things out. Watch the temperature and oil pressure, obviously, but the goal is to get the exhaust system blazing hot for a long period of time, enough to burn the oil out.
