Default Exhaust question

I just put the apexi n1 on my car and it sounds really nice and looks really nice but now there is smoke coming out of the exhaust...The car didnt smoke before so im just wondering if it is just the paint from the piping thats burning off? If so how long does it last for bc it smells pretty bad and looks dirty.

usually when u put a new exhaust on a car
it take a few days to for the gaskets to seal
then smoke should just be temporary

it's your fuel tank. Just get a band clamp and pull it away from it. That's what I did.
