White Smoke

[1990EclipseGSX]

I just installed a 3" Doug's Dyno Power Downpipe, Testpipe, and Exhaust, and a 2G ported manifold. When I started my car back up smoke whitish smoke started to come out of the top of the new exhaust manifold. does anybody know what this is from?

did you get a fluid on the manifold

It could just be residual stuff (oil, grease, fluid) burning off from the install. It should burn off after a few minutes of driving. If not, then you might have a leak somewhere...

ok, so no more smoke coming out of the manifold, but now the exhaust is producing a thin white smoke whenever the engine at any RPM's above idle. does this mean that i need to replace the head gasket?
