I'm a little nervous...just a little though.

I've noticed some white smoke behind me coming out the tailpipes when I'm idling.

this is after driving 20 miles at highway speeds on a rare 45 degree day in Orlando. I noticed it a little the other day too when it wasn't that chilly.

It's not thick...I'm not losing coolant at all...new intake manifold w/ the aluminum crossover.

I have BBK LT headers, BBK H w/ Cats, and flowmasters. '04 4.6 w/ about 25k on it.

Cold weather and condensation. No worries Mine does it too, but because of the dumps it comes out from right under the car. It's kinda cool looking though because it engulfs the whole car in a huge cloud
