since it goes away after the car is warm, nbd, just condensation burning off. if it continually burns white after warming up, that means some coolant is being burned in the combustion cycle, indicative of a head gasket leak (most likely). that is a major problem and a pita to fix.

If you are running stock mid-pipes they have a tendancy to carry a little condenstation in the them, most likely due to their age. There has been different arguments on the matter (bad gas, collections of pockets of condensation, etc).

But really, if you want to be sure. Do a compression test just to ease your worries but it sounds like just basic condensation in the exhaust to me. Compression test is very simple to do with a compression tester, a buddy and a little patience.
