Default Smoking Gun Tailpipes

In the category of "things I never noticed before" I present the following....
When I reach my destination and exit my vehicle, exhaust continues to drift
from my tailpipes for a bit... in sort of a "smoking gun" fashion.
Never noticed that before on this or any other car I have owned.
My initial thought is that it is just exhaust left in the system that isnt getting absorbed by muffler packing
(LM1's) and drifts out as the winds blows by... Secondary thought is.. wonder if that is an
accurate assumption... lets ask the forum guys!

i guess it's just the remaining hot gasses mixing with the cold air and forming steam, are you sure it's smoke?

hmm, it might be a dead rodent. you should remove you catback and midpipe and take it in your van down by the river to wash it.
