You are burning off the solvents that are in the wrap and paint, this is normal. Just take it out for a good thrashing tomorrow to get the exhaust really hot to get rid of any remainind residue. Had to replace a section on my headers without thinking went for a drive called in at Tesco's and as I walked away a woman came after me syaing my car was smoking, penny dropped, explained why then took the car for a good thrash. No more smoke, hope this puts your mind at rest a bit.
