have you driven it much with the new parts? sometimes new exhaust parts will have some stuff inside to burn out... otherwise it's possible the cats were masking excessive oil burning

It's probably the "packing oil" that they use in pretty much all exhaust compenents.



Give it a long drive and then check it out, it will probably go away.

Sounds good guys, I hav eonly driven it 5 mile so far. I wouldn't be surprised to see that my engine was burning excessive oil but just in case I am going to buy a project engine and do everything to make it dependable and then probably sell the old engine later.
