Default B18b swap is smoking, need help asap

I finally got my swap running, but now it's starting to smoke by the header after a minute of running. All the bolts are tight on the header and the gasket is fairly new, any ideas?

It's white-ish, it's not coming out of the exhaust as far as I can tell.

It's aftermarket, not sure of what brand. The white smoke is coming from the exhaust too. I'm thinking my seals are burnt out or something. Any ideas?
