Unhappy smoke??

I don't know if the mid pipe could or would cause this but when I start my 8 she smokes its like a light white clerish haze look it's real noticable the car has been doing this for about a month everything on the car runs fine she stops smokeing after you drive her its the first start up from cold when this happens. Its has 48,000 miles, oil change every 3,000 5w20 non syn, I do all the red lineing checking oil I take care of my car. Any1 else have this issue it doesn't seem normal I went to mazda but they were jerks to me so this is my last hope any help plz

My car smokes w/ the TurboXS cat+midpipe. Hasn't seemed to have affected anything. My solution is that is normal.

Normal,

Extra fuel at startup + old oil burning off.

Or, atleast, that makes sense.

i have smoke as well from my catless mid pipe. my stock cat blew on the way to get the pipes swapped so i think i have a chuck of cat in my muffler.... it goes away after like 5 mins of driving but it will be gone for like few days then show up again.
