At first i thought it was the intake not sealing as i had ran into the problem of having to to use 2 gaskets on the sided to fill the gap
when i pulled the intake off i looked for signs of sucking oil in the runners but all were clean n dry
i havent changed the break in oil yet its supper thin any chance its getting by??? its not really a blue smoke like a normal oil burner not black from rich and not really like a vapor from water it stareted doing it after putting the new exhaust(with x pipe) on the car so hard to tell what bank it coming from

Could it just be burning the paint off the new exhaust?

No im pretty sure thats not it
possible that oil from valve cover gaskets (cork) getting down between header and blow out the exh.????just a thought cause the valve cover gaskets are mega thick and im having to keep snuging thek down

Un fortunately HEMI's can be bad about valve seals. I'd go ahead and finish the breakin and watch the oil. If its valve seals they normally get worse not better, whereas the rings get better during breakin. Good luck.

One of the last Hemi's I built smoked like a mother at the dyno at start up. The dyno operator even questioned me if I installed the second ring upside down. That's how bad it was. The smoking problem came from priming the engine prior to start up without without sparkplugs. After the dyno session the car ran its best times ever.

Did you use synthetic oil? If so then the rings may be delayed in seating.

Most of the times I have removed spark plugs to inspect, they have oil on them that gets into the spark plug tubes.

These help if that is true in your case.

Any chance the motor is just "loaded up"? [on the trailer to the exhaust shop/off the trailer back home. ect.]

A good thrashin' may be in order!!!

Use compressed air to hold the valves up and replace them while the motor is in the car and the heads are still on

You dont have to pull the heads or engine... but you
would need the on head valve spring compressor and a
air compressor to blow the cyl up

If or when you take the springs off the valve, check for valve side play/ guide clearance. I had a new set of MP heads worked on in two machine shops and they never noticed that MP sold the heads with too much guide clearance. The engine did exactly what you are describing. The guides .004 to .005" clearance. I hope your luck is better than this.
