Noticed this morning that after 35 minutes of driving, (15 of them on a freeway).
When i got to work there was still a some condensation coming out of the exhaust at idle.
It was around 5 to 7 degrees, so very cold.
The exhaust system is standard except for after the diff where it is a couple of
hot dogs instead of the factory mufflers.
Anyone know why this would still be happening, a idea i had was that the exhaust air would come out of the
hot dog much warmer that it would out of a larger muffler and be reacting with the cold air not moisture in the
exhaust itself?

Quite normal. I've been seeing this everyday the last week or two.

its normal, the byproduct of the catalytic converter system is water

the other issue that causes this problem is head gasket or cracked head, but from what your saying it sounds completely normal and is the cat working correctly

Cooler temps would be the cause, also don’t forget the hot dogs don’t have the heat retaining packing like the OE centre muffler which helps rid the system of moisture quicker.
