    As long as the smoke is not coming out from around the flange and then you have a gasket issue. If you reused your old manifold gasket you may need to get a new one. Also if you didn't torque the bolts correctly or in an alternating pattern you may have torqued down one side before the other and it's not making a complete seal. But, if the smoke is just coming off of the actual tubing it's just shit you got on it during the install.

    ...you won't ever get any paint to stick on it [not even the 1200-1400° ceramic paint], just clean it really well and put a header wrap on it and call it a day.
