Default custom H pipe problems?

i have a 98 GT with custom bent dual exhaust running through only 2 flowmasters. it seems to smoke alot when its cold (even at like 60 degrees) and if you look close it smokes very little when its nice out as well. is this normal just because it doesnt have all the cats?


just wanna make sure i dont need a valve or ring job!

What does it look like?

If its only at startup your probably fine. If it happens on acceleration or all the time, you have problems.

Either way, it should not have any visable smoke coming out because you are not running cats. The only differnce without the cats should be the exhaust smell.

the "smoke" comes out and stays around the *** of the car. it looks like vapor smoke to me? but i just wanted other peoples opinions. when driving it does not smoke and if you give it some gas it doesnt either just idiling
