no, water vapor is a natural product of combustion, and when its cold out it condenses agaisnt you're still cold tailpipe, and will drip out

You've never seen water pour out of someones exhaust when they are sitting at a redlight in front of you then step on it when the light turns green?
Water is a byproduct of the catalytic converter process.
If you had coolant in your exhaust, you would deff know it. It would smell and it would smoke tons.

That's just water/condensation in your muffler. On cold mornings or nights, your exhaust will spit out water or white vapor as the muffler warms up to operating temperature. The muffler is basically sweating out all the moisture. Cars that are driven on very short trips in cold climates never get all the moisture out of their mufflers. They are essentially water logged and that's why you see them rust from the inside out.
