Water coming out my exhaust

Yesterday while working on the 4wd system I noticed that there was a lot of water dripping out of the muffler and the tail pipe. The day was nice about 60F and I had drove home about a hour earler. It was just water no antifreeze smell. Should I worry about it or don't worry?

Water vapor is a large component of your vehicle's exhaust. It is very common a car that has just started to have condensed water come out the tailpipe until the exhaust warms up.

Water is a byproduct of combustion...perfectly normal.
