The manifold feeds cylinders 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and could be leaking. But typically that would cause a lean miss fire not excessive smoke at all speeds. Lean miss fire should cause a puffing noise out the pipe. If the compression test shows good then look at the vacuum at idle and high speed to see if its normal and not bouncing. This video is good at explaining what the vacuum readings mean
