Default SC4 Smoke/ steam?

Ok another new guy question....I have a 95 SC400. Do these cars get a lot of condensation in the exhaust? I'm asking because my car has a lot of steam...I think, hopefully it isn't smoke, but it doesn't look like it.........that comes from the exhaust when I start it up in the am. Thanks!

This means the cat(s) are doing their job. It'll be even more noticable on a cold day.

mine too, the colder the weather the more dense it is. My exhaust also has that pinging sound after I shut the car off (exhaust shrinkage) which I also hear is quite normal.
