Blowing smoke...

I just installed a 3" turbo back exhaust. Now people have told me when I get on it between shifts I blow white smoke out the tailpipe. I'm assuming it's because it's running pretty rich now. but I thought excessive gas would produce black smoke not white. I thought white smoke was usually because of burning oil or coolant. Anybody know for sure? Thanks

Depends on when you drive. In the morning or whenever you start your car, you'll see white smoke coming out of the pipe. That white smoke is water being vaporized and that is normal.
