Lots of smoke after installing used exhaust

People-

I don't think its anything more than condensation from the car sitting with an open y-pipe, however I'm parking the car and asking here to see if I should be concerned before making a fatal error.

I purchased a used exhaust from Tim (mufflex 3.5"), removed old exhaust at y-pipe, realized the central pipe needed to be shortened, had central pipe shortened, car sat for two weeks with open y-pipe, finally installed exhaust yesterday, started the car and it is smoking like crazy now. Even some smoke was coming from the passenger side near where block meets heads, but that has subsided after about 3 minutes of idling. The smoke, from the tailpipe, however, has not.

I took a video, can post it if need be, however I wanted to gain opinions on whether I should be concerned. There was some roughhousing with the y-pipe to get the old exhaust off, and the new one on, but nothing excessive, I think.

What say you, automotive sages of njfboa?
