Its called "cold exhaust pipe". The smoke you see is the water vapor from your catalytic converter. Thats also where the water comes from. Your not used to seeing it. I believe it was 50 something degrees this morning. ONce the exhaust pipe heats up, you don't see it anymore.

Yeah I've seen that in the right conditions, a cool humid morning and it will steam like crazy.
