There is a little bit of white smoke that comes out from my exhaust when my truck is cold. Its not when i start it its just when im at about 3 grand or so and kinda thump it a little. It will not smoke when i drive real easy and its cold. Is this something to worry about or to fix? Just wondering. Oh and by the way its a 99 5spd with a flowmaster 40 and no cat. Thanks!
probally just condensation in your pipes or a leaking valve seal.
Pull your plugs and check them. That'll tell you more than what comes out of the exhaust.

My dad had a 93 astro and it always put out real white exhaust when it was below 40 degrees, it had 125k miles on it, pretty sure it would be condensation.

white exhaust is a sign of burning coolant. maybe head gasket not sealing until engine reaches operating temp.(warped head, intake manifold) just somthing to look into.

No its not coolant at all. Just did a complete coolant flush and checked fluid regularly and it hasn't used a bit of coolant. Its prob just condensation from the exhaust because the cat is gone.

well i took my cat off and mine dosn't do that. condinsation dosn't burn white. it would steam if it did anything. but when i get condinsation coming out of my ehaust it just dribbles out. not smokes.
