Condensation. This happens a lot on a good many cars.

The one thing to look out for is how long you run your car in inclement weather (cold or damp). One of the biggest killers of exhaust systems is when you drive your car a lot and only go short amounts of distance, say 15 minutes or less. Driving the car less than that amount of time, does not allow the heat from the exhaust to evaporate all that water you see coming out of the tips.
