For a little chemistry lesson, the byproduct of combustion is carbon dioxide and water. What you're seeing is some water being thrown by exhaust pulses, i.e. mine does it also.

I figured as much but my last S2K didn't do this... ever. After banging around the car while installing the soft top I wanted to make sure everything was OK lol

Looks like a lot or carbon in the condensation. Doubt installing a cage would effect this though. Did you wash the car and get water in the exhaust? That could sit in there for a little while and spray out.

Its possible that I got water in the exhaust, but I've washed an s2k 1000 times before without this happening. I think it will be ok, I'm not really worried about it just curious.

True, who knows. Use it as an excuse to get a new exhaust
