PUffs of smoke... need some advice

Ok i was checking my car today since i hadnt driven it for a week, and today i warmed up my car for a bit then reved to about 3k and somedust or smoke puffed out my pipes when i let off the throttle. it was pretty cold all week so im thinking it might have just been condensation bulid up but just in case any ideas on what i should check? i have no cat fyi

In cold weather the exhaust fills up with water, until it gets warm enough to start evaporating. Burning gasoline makes water and carbon dioxide.

yeah i am pretty sure it was just the cold weather causing this, im not use to low temps here in el paso i jus wanted to double check because a friend told me that if the gaskets blew i would see constant steam coming out the pipes not just that cold weather vapor trail
