SS exhaust smoke on cold start

Hi all.
This is my first new thread, so feel free to flame me if I’m doing it wrong.
My car has 3300 miles on it. I broke it in correctly and had the oil changed at 2300 miles. Then I started noticing this on cold start:

Is this normal?

Mine does that as well... As long as it isn't blue and doesn't smell like burning oil, you're fine... From the looks of the short video, you are fine...

The smoke is blue/grey, but it does not smell like oil.
Maybe I’m just being overly protective.

Thanks for the replies, mikem2104 and 2SS Capt.

It's definitely normal, likely due to the very rich mixture at startup (which also creates the aggressive cold start sound)...
