Default exhaust question

Okay so I finally did it and had the LG Headers and CAT back installed on the coupe. Love it...I do have some issues but in general you can't go wrong with more HP and louder pipes. However I have noticed that on cold starts I have the condisation that would usually come out the tail pipe come out the CAT back x pipe connection...as if it was a facuet pouring out. Once it heats up this stops and starts coming out the tail pipe as it should. My question is...should I take it back and have the exhaust leak fixed??? Or is this normal on our cars with aftermarket exhaust. The shade tree in me says...uh take that mess back to be fixed....but I am suprised every time with these cars...it wouldnt suprise me at all if people responded to this post with...that is totally normal.

Thanks in advance for any tips or info.

I'd take it back, I wouldn't want mine doing that.

a leak isn't normal and they should fix it. On the bright side, atleast its an easy fix.
