White smoke is water in the exhaust. AKA steam. If you did the bypass correctly it should go away.

I remember some guy a while back did this mod incorrectly and and his oil was all watery because he connected the wrong lines together.. i forgot though.. it was a couple years back.

I think he connected the coolant line to some line going into the head.. not sure though.

it seems to be going away. I drove it a few miles and it is getting less and less. I don't understand though how i could have gotten moisture into the exhaust.

Dont you think your tb may freeze since you live in a cold climate.

I hope it doesn't freeze. That would really suck. I've read on here from members who live in even colder climates that it shouldn't be an issue and hasn't been for them. The reason I did this mod is because my throttle was rubbing up against one of the lines going into the TB because the TB is over there now because of the whipple. This way, i won't spring a leak again.
