Exhaust question

my mechanic says the reason for the cloud of smoke out of the exhaust is b/c of the bent pipe job was bad....has anyone had that same problem?...i bought a cheap DTM exhaust from ebay, and i'm thinkin about buying a maganaflow DTM, but the diameter might not be good if it 3"...shoould i get a 2.25" and buy a factory pipe?....

I suggest to be rid of the whole situation dig into the pockets and replace the whole exhaust or go to a junkyard and find one there.
