Default Does your stock exhaust make noises?

My exhaust always makes a noise like it is cooling. Everybody has heard the exhaust cooling after parking the car. Well, mine does it when its running also. Does anyone elses do this? Im wondering if it is normal on these cars or if I should be concerned. The exhaust also steams constantly when its cold. Even after the car has warmed up. Kinda weird.

Mine does it even with its running I hate it. It makes the car sound old.

I am still looking for where the pop corn comes out.
