So ever since my cam install, i have noticed a lot of water coming out my tail pipes, its been over a month and my coolant level has remained the same. But from what i have been told cats convert the exhaust gases into water, but i have no cats. It has been cold here could it be condensation? It drips like a drop every two seconds. Any ideas are appreciated, thanks

it's normal. when driving your exhaust heats up. when you stop, it cools down. during the cool down the metal causes condensation inside the exhaust. that water stays there until something causes it to evaporate.

+1 or it drips out of your tail pipe at a stop or once you start rolling. There's no other reason water would be coming out of a tail pipe, you engine doesn't burn coolant - if you're losing coolant it's not coming out the exhaust valve of the combustion chamber, lol - water can't be compressed.
