Smile Help!! Just Installed Pypes X-Pipe

Whats up guys.. I just installed a pypes x-pipe and I think i may have to go back over my steps again because when I tightened everything up on of my mufflers stuck out farther than the other (pass side muffler was barley visible from the back). And also when I started the car up it sounded alittle funny and I seen smoke comming from the passenger side also......any ideas on what that could be? Not white smoke or black.....more like clean exhaust smoke but i dunno. Could it be the pypes stickers burning off could it be a bad oxygen sensor? or maybe just not lined up right with the header port?

just jack it up and mess with the exhaust placement. the smoke is normal, just the greeses from your fingers burning off.
