Default Liquid on test pipe

I have a weird situation here. I have a set of Strup test pipe installed on my car for about three weeks now. Just today, as i was driving in a 85 degree weather, as my car came to a complete stop, i saw a light smoke coming out from the bottome of my car where the test pipe are. In addition, there is an abnormal smell which i think its some kind of liquid being evaporated from the test pipe. So i stopped to take a look at the car, some smoke came out and went away. And i smell the abnormal fume again. I know for a fact that was not from the exhaust because it was directly underneath the test pipe area. So i popped the hood and looked down the test pipe i noticed there was water or liquid on the test pipe on both sides. I'm not sure whether it was a leak due to AC or what not or just a leak, and condensation due to the leak. But the liquid was substantial. So any ideas what it might have been or could be? any input would be appreciated. I might bring the car in this weekend to have it checked out.

it might be from the condensation that is the aftermath of burnt fuel. i know the smell is horrible but im used to it. check to make sure there are no leaks and everything is bolted up nice and tight.

did the smoke smell pungent? If it smelt mild, its just water. If it smelt strong of chemical, it might be brake, clutch, oil ect.. u get the point. I bet its nothing. Ur just gettin paranoid I get it too.
