Is this a problem?

I have more of the white condensation smoke/steam you get when it's cold coming out the left side of the muffler more so then the right. This is NOT dual exhaust, so just wondering if the muffler is/has taken a dump . I believe it is OE - stamped GM. Still sounds ok, no leaks that I have found.

I wouldn't be concerned about it.

If its only "smoke/steam" when its cold and you first start, then nothing to worried about. If it starts pouring steam out, then worry.

Wait, so if it's lets say 30 degrees out (*F) and you see smoke/steam after your car has warmed up you should be concerned?

A good complete combustion will cause water from the exhaust...whether it's in a liquid or gas form.

So, unless it's blue or white smoke (and constant)...go buy yourself a Dr. Pepper and think about that.
