Grey/blue smoke Help!

Hey guys recently installed a VRSF downpipe catless on my 540, I let someone drive my car to see how it sounded and noticed this like light grey/blue smoke whenever the car is under load and coming to a stop but then it will go away and will only happen sometimes after stepping on it hard, car idles fine no constant smoke when driving it normal or idling, car is not tuned everything else is stock, new to the b58 platform any ideas on what it is would be appreciated thank you!

I have the same problem. I still can't find a fix. I already did the PCV diaphragm but either I got a bad one or it's something else. I got a ross racing catch can that I will be installing soon and I will report back to see if that helps. but if anyone else has some info I would appreciate it as well.
