    Front header touching fan shield?

    Otherwise if you didnt clean off the headers after install, smoke is going to happen from anything like oils and grease burning off.

    And you being catless is going to make its own smell, very strong exhaust smell is always present.

    Its possible you have a leak, maybe at the egr or downpipe connection
