    It would take a good long trip to evaporate all the water, I would say it just steam, as an example when I had a cat back exhaust put on my VX SS the fitter stood the old system up and I reckon close to a litre of water ran out of the rear muffler, I had driven about 20 minutes to the exhaust shop, so if you're doing a few short trips they do collect quite a bit of water in the rear muffler.

    One of the bi products produced by the catalytic converter is water,so you will nearly always get some water or steam coming from the exhaust.
