Removed cat converter now car smokes
I have a 89 RS 305 TB with only 89,000 miles. I removed the cat converter and now my car smokes like a worn out school bus. All sensors checked out okay. I added a can of sea foam and it got worse. White smoke is rolling out the tail pipes. Please give any suggestions. Thank you!!

Its white smoke and the coolant makes since. when I first start it up the tail pipes are very wet. After it warms up they dry out but the smoke fogs up the rear bumper. What's causing it to do it? There is no water in the oil and Im not loosing coolant.

Its all the time not just at start up. Its not the seals, it never has had a hint of smoke but as soon as I took off the converter BAM! it started. It makes no sense. I'm thinking about just pulling off all the smog junk since the converter is gone. I dont want to since the car has low miles but I'm not about to drive it like it is. Its got to be something simple, I just cant put my finger on it. If any one can help with suggestions I will be forever greatfull! Thanks for looking.
