I have a 92 MTX Gen 2 ..I decided to go with a 2.5 catless Y-pipe with a 2.5 catback exhaust with Borla mufflers I take noticed when I'm driving after the car gets up to temp and running it a while soon as I come to a stop at a light or something I start seeing smoke coming from out the side on the left of the car from the tailpipe, now it only does it when the car comes to a stop sometimes but the car runs like a champ I'm just curious would it blow smoke like that now that I have a bigger exhaust setup without any cats???

White "smoke" is usually steam.
Water is a product of combustion and you can see it when you let your car warm-up in the morning, and it will run out the end of your tailpipe.
If the smoke does not have a sweet smell to it (antifreeze), it should not be an issue.

Cats are supposedly good for the environment, but they also cover up engine running condition. You may simply be seeing what was already there. Just keep an eye on the coolant and temp gauge.

Car runs smooth and temp gauge seems to be not moving
