Default Smoking Si

Last night I looked in my mirror and noticed smoke coming from my car when I was in the higher rpms. I am not sure what color it was because it was dark outside.

My car has 131k miles, stock b16 motor except for AEM CAI, and I don't drive it hard. I always use 93 octane gas.

What could be causing the smoke when in VTEC? I have heard this is normal, but the car never smoked when it was new....

Yes, I am always on time with the oil changes. Oil is up to date and correctly changed.
