White smoke from exhaust
My knowledge of the LFX is limited, but I know a lot about the LLT (my previous car).
My wife's 2013 1LT just hit the 1500 mile mark or so. She called me this morning to complain about white smoke continuing to come out of the exhaust for the past week and that she can smell exhaust. I already called the dealership and setup an appointment to have it looked at. From day one she has drove it like she stole it (hard break in). I was just about to have her get her first free oil change done as well as few other things at the 1500 mile mark. I will be taking a look at the car this afternoon to see what exactly is going on. I am guessing it is due to a leak from coolant or a seal not properly seating during break in. Any ideas?

Just thought of something. Did you put a catch can on it?

I took a look at it last night. Oil smelled normal and looked normal. The car run fine and coolant temp stayed below 200. I couldn't see anything at first then I turned it off and went to check. It took a little while to show up apparently, but I got to see it. It is a faint white smoke that doesn't slow down or change. I took a video of it with the car off and will post it up soon. I checked the mufflers and the holes for water looked to be blocked so I am guessing that is the cause. I will still let the dealer look it over and have the video to show them as evidence.

Yea I am 90% sure now that is why. The passenger side muffler had something in it blocking it (like a nail or something hanging) and the driver side muffler had stuff in it.

Hmm, think you have an opportunity to get some MRT-2s for her birthday. She'll love you for it and maybe get you a mod for your birthday.

Belated Happy Birthday!
Well, his and her's exhaust sounds like a good anniversary present, but I'm not sure what all you have on your's right now.

Yes it does. My SS is stock. I just got her April 5th of this year so nothing yet. I have a catch can and technostalgia tail lights waiting to be installed. I will ask her and see what she says. I know what exhaust setup I want though. SW 3" retro catback with power connect to SW 2" LT's. For hers I am thinking MRT 2's with resonator delete.

For her's, think about the resonated X-pipe instead of a resonator delete. My experience has been the drone will drive you crazy with out the resonators on the V6.

My brother (LLT) has a MRT 2 and resonator delete. He loves it and says there really isn't any drone or if there is it isn't noticeable most of the time. I like the sound too. Perhaps a res delete with a res x-pipe?
