It's called a combustion reaction, this goes on quite a bit in your internal combustion engine. It goes like this (ideally): oxygen and a hydrocarbon (gasoline) react to produce carbon dixoide and water. It's just condensation in your muffler, nothing to worry about.

The water vapor from the reaction condenses with the cold air outside to create water in liquid form. Totally normal. You should only be experiencing this during warmup.
