I just got rid of my obx racing exhaust and installed a greddy evo cat-back exhaust. I got the greddy exhaust used from someone. I also did a tune at the same time, new fuel pump, spark plugs and wires.

I take my 99 gsr for a test drive and i see a huge cloud of white smoke coming out of the exhaust. i thought my car was on fire. i go back to my house and park it and smell this weird burning smell. i also noticed that there was some liquid dripping out of the exhaust too.

The car drives normal. I don't notice any loss of power. Anyone know whats wrong? is my headgasket blown?

white smoke is coolant or oil. check for a leak on the pipes. then check oil for presence of coolant (gray/tan milky looking) for blown headgasket. if everything is okay to this point, my best guess is excessive blowby by blown piston rings or valve leak

 

You could have water in the exhaust system from sitting. When I bought my Vette it was sitting outside in rainy Seattle for a couple weeks. It did that for almost a day until it heated up the mufflers enough to evaporate it all out.
