Default Steam from exhaust?

Please tell me it's just condensation. It seems like an awful lot of steam coming from my exhaust. I checked my oil when I changed it, not milky, no signs of water intrusion. I really can't see anything wrong. However, my check engine light came on the otherday, and shut off 2 days later. This has happened twice. That happened after the headers, I'm sure thats the O2 sensor, and have ordered new ones. Nothing has "felt" different, besides my new ponies from everything so far. Also getting a lot of carbon out the exhaust, posibly running rich. That will get fixed with the unichip, I'm sure.

HELP!

Ron

It's just condensation. Seriously, it probably is just condensation and/or the weather changes. With the cooler weather, and in some areas, more humidity, it's not unusual to see lots of steam coming out of tailpipes shortly after startup. If after a long freeway run, you're still steaming, I'd be worried.

I'm sure its condensation. Water vaopr is a byproduct of engine combustion.
