If it's a brand new midpipe, it will take a little time to burn off all the packing oil and stuff inside the pipe. You're gonna need to drive it a bit more to know whether you have some sort of a smoking problem.

My engine smokes when I first start the car with a mid pipe OR with my highflow cat. When Put my stock cat on for 2 weeks when I was getting emissions it never smoked. I have a newer engine so I know theres nothing wrong with it.
