to those with hiflow cats and no emissions...

here's my question:

you guys with hiflow cats and no airpump and no other emissions, how much steam and/or water comes out of your exhaust on a cold start? when i start my car i have a small spot where you can see that condensation has lightly sprayed out onto the ground right behind the muffler. this isnt a lot of water or anything, but if you were to start the car cold and hold your hand in front of the tip, your hand will definitely get a little wet...

I have straight exhaust with magnaflow welded midpipe.

As far as condensation, its all relative to your weather.
Humidity temperature and etc.
But on cold starts. with no emission stuff. You will get
get some smoke, smell gas from unburnt fuel.
Usually really rich plus premix.

I don't think you've got anything to worry about.
