it's just moisture in the muffler and pipes. It's normal thing that cars do. It does not harm the engine in any way.

water H20, is a byproduct of combustion, it's constant. You notice it more when exhaust pipes are cold, because you also see the condensation produced as hot exh. gasses pass thru colder pipes. As pipes heat up condensation no longer occurs, and h20 produced evaporates in heat of exh.

The catalytic converter in every car converts carbon dioxide into water so what your seeing is normal until the vehicle warms up.

thats moisture built up in the pipes and muffler from short trip driving where the pipes don't get hot enough to burn out all the moisture and it lays in the muffler and that is what you are seeing.

There is moisture in your gas tank or in your gas line. You can also have paid for some cheap gas that had water in it. To get rid of it, you can add a bottle of "Heet" or any other gas treatment.
