White smoke with midpipe?

I recently installed a midpipe and when I do a hard run and let off in the middle of a gear without taking it to redline, I get white smoke out of the tailpipe. It does not smoke at any other time, not even start up after sitting for up to 2 weeks.

My car is running a little rich so I assume that it is unburned fuel that used to be caught by the cat. I have talked with others that said they have had this happen too. anyone else?

The white smoke is only when I let off the gas in the middle of a gear. if I tap the accelerator it goes away.
