MT 83 GSL Exhaust swap

Hey guys, I'm looking for some help! I just swapped out my stock exhaust system (on an 83 GSL Cali) with an aftermarket one I got off another car (79). The "new" one has no manufacturing stamps or identification that I can find. I consists of a header, two presilencers and the muffler. Everything seemed to bolt up fine, though it seems to hang a little low. The problem is that it now smokes like crazy where it didn't smoke before. I only ran it for a few minutes. The smoke seems like oil as if my motor is shot. Could it be that there is just something in the new system that needs burnt off? I can't imagine that the old system could have been plugged enough to stop all that smoke. Thanks for the help!
(Coming soon, questions on a 36 DCD swap!!!)

MT Problem solved.

My car stopped smoking! Must have just been from being jacked up at 30 degrees for 2 days! That crossed my mind at first but it kept smoking for soooo long.
