its very hard to describe, but its not black, its like snowy white, but it only last for like 10secs, and the smoke goes away. and its -5 degree outside. i also have an aftermarket muffler on it too.

I think it's just cause it has a little vapor left in it and it's so cold that you can see it, kind of like steam. But yeah, I don't think that anythings wrong.
