Default HR white smoke

on start up there is a good bit of white smoke and i let it warm up for a few minutes and gave it a few revs. after the revs more white smoke puffs out .
car has been doing this for a while. ive had it for 7k miles so far. i recently had a almost brand new B&B exhaust so i thought it was just the new exhaust smoking like normal but i went back to stock exahust and still having smoke. i recorded a short vid but it was hard to capture on my phone. i drove for about 20 minutes and revved it and didnt see any smoke. checked the oil and coolant and the levels are good

Nissan HR engine is the best V6 in the world. If your oil level doesn't go down, just don't look at the exhaust. Looks normal to me.

Greg Louisiana is a very humid place. When you turn off an engine the water vapor that the engine was breathing will condense to water in the cold exhaust system. In your video the first second after start up, a few drops of water dribbled out, then as things heated up some steam puffed out. Once the engine and exhaust system fully warm up, the extra steam will come out as invisible vapor again. If you start observing other cars, you’ll see that they all do this.
