I'm willing to bet you have a stock, ungutted cat, right?

It happens with stock cats...

if you have a straight through exhaust, usually wont see much moisture at all..

From www.howstuffworks.com:

The main emissions of a car engine are:

* Nitrogen gas (N2) - Air is 78-percent nitrogen gas, and most of this passes right through the car engine.
* Carbon dioxide (CO2) - This is one product of combustion. The carbon in the fuel bonds with the oxygen in the air.
* Water vapor (H2O) - This is another product of combustion. The hydrogen in the fuel bonds with the oxygen in the air.

It's normal for water to come out of your exhaust.
