Default Coolant Leak?

so i took the stang out yesterday for a long drive.....drove it agressivly but not bad enuf to really fck anything up....but i pull into my friends driveway and turn off the car...its been running for at least an hour.....we go back out and just cruise....got back to his house and he wanted to hear it reve from behind the car...so i did.....here's where my question comes:

after i did that he asked me to do it again....worried he told me to turn off the car and go to the back.....there was a hell of a lot of water driping out of the out of the exhaust and u could see where it splattered on the ground....we got under the car and took off the resonators (SLP LMI cat bak) and there was alot of fluid in it...he said it was coolant for there was too much liquid coming out to be condensation...especially on a warm engine

i want ur guys inputs...

EDIT: i didnt have the A/C on either.....im so confused about this..and later that night i did hte same thing but nothing came out...

Does it smell like anitfreeze as it does have a certain smell to it. Also check for the color as if its transparent then its just condensation.

the condensation will also let you know if you have leaks on the inlet and outlet to your mufflers. i still have a minor leak even after i had them welded up a year ago. clamps suck get rid of them.

its not coolant its just condesation.
