Default Why is my new slip on smoking

I just put a new 2 brothers slip on exhaust on my 2008 cbr 600. After letting it warm my exhaust started to let out a white smoke and a funny smell but it didn't smell like gas. Any help please

yep as chain said, completely normal. they also have the internals of the muffler coated with oils for storage to prevent corrosion. As you ride it more, it will smell less, but may take some time before it doesn't smell at all.
