the problem you are experiencing is due to cold air and warm ducting.


the only truly successful thing to do is insulated ducting on your cold intake and also crazy foaming it to make it insulate better, it happens because moisture rich cold air is coming in then getting warmed up by your ducting, just like breathing on a cold window.

try googling about shower vents for bathrooms as these have similar problems with cold ducting and steam passing through them causing condensation . the fix is the same as i described.

Had the same condensation problem. Wrapped the intakes (6") with old towels and secured them with duct tape. Problem solved in the cold snowy northeast.
