stainless exhaust produce tons of condensation in cold weather. the bigger the bore, the worse it is. if your not losing any water, i wouldnt worry. post a vid up, put your mind at rest.

Nothing to worry about as long as you aren't loosing coolant, it's just condensation. Avoid short trips s much as you can as they do nothing for an engine, the excess condensation building up in the exhust is also building up inside the engine and will rot it from the inside out!
