It's happening less now, but in the recent cold weather I've noticed that my MY00 seems to have steam from the exhaust for longer than most other cars. I've followed other cars on cold start and within a few miles their cars have stopped steaming.

Is it that the scooby exhaust is bigger and condenses much more water vapour, thus having to boil more on the next drive?

My other car has a large BB as well and does the same.

BTW I don't have any blue smoke/black smoke to indicate something is wrong.

I have pressumed that it was normal but my problem is that when I accelerate everyone 'really' knows that I am because there are plumes of steam out of the exhaust.

I'd like to be a bit more stealthy with my acceleration
