Smoke out of exhaust?

I noticed that tonight when I get on the gas and shift smoke comes out of the exhaust. The only things I have done to the car are headers, cat-back, cold air and resonator. What could be the cause?

Yes, exhaust's will smoke for a while after being replaced, a week is a little long depends how much u drive tho.

What colour is the smoke?

The colour will tell u a lot if something is wrong such as white smoke = water burning and blue smoke = burning oil

ok, smoke shouldnt come out, but in your case, I am 100% positive that smoke comes out sometimes when you get on the gas is because you have no cat, if you added a resonator and replaced it with your stock cat having no cat will cause smoke.
