Exhaust dripping water?
I just recently installed Invidia exhaust and I'm noticing a lot of water dripping from my exhaust. Is this normal? or should I be concerned?
I noticed the water drips and a faint white smoke during a cold start and parked after a drive. Also when I'm decelerating I hear a pop noise?Anyone else having this same issue? any help would be greatly appreciated.
Is normal for my coolant to drip out of this hose?

99.9% of the time, it's just combination condensation.
if it smells sweet (like maple syrup) or if your exhaust includes light colored smoke (burning oil) along with the dripping water, then you're going to have a bad time.
cold start smoke is normal, your cat isn't up to operating temps yet.
downshift backfires are also normal. dshifting makes for a slightly richer exhaust; that coupled with hot headers makes for a little pop
coolant system probably should not be leaking. unless that's not coolant. does it smell sweet around the leak? it might just be condensation

thanks I just got my car service recently at the dealer. I'm guessing they poured too much and didn't clean it afterwards.

The liquid has no smell from what I can tell, and it's clear like water.
Would adding a Invidia mid pipe stop this issue since it will remove a cat?
