Interesting... It clearly shows that the smoke isn't continuous out of either pipe, but pulses alternately. I didn't think the pipes would heat and cool that fast in vibe tween cylinder firings.

Not sure of your oil flow for the smoke system but I'm running around 4Ltrs per minute of Diesel. The injectors are high on the exhaust to get a good burn, and I have found no oil residue on the belly but the smoke system did highlight an exhaust leak at one of the slip joints in the exhaust system.

I think that it is the update speed of my smart phone camera, There is a constant flow of thick, billowing white smoke

Great! Smoke is fun.

I have a small system from skysmoke.com for the Rotax 912 and only use about 1,5 liters/minute:
