Not sure exactly what you are trying to say here.

Is there smoke coming from the manifolds, or from your tailpipes?

If it's coming from the manifolds, then you either

A) Didn't put a gasket on
B) Didn't tighten down the manifolds enough
C) Forgot a stud when you put the manifolds back on.

Just simply go around and see if anything needs tightening down.

I suggest removing the AIR pipes from the manifolds and installing the correct size pipe plugs.

When you get the tubes out, just take one to the parts store with you to get the correct size plug.
