Not much. When the exhaust pipe is cold, water vapor will condense as the exhaust cools on the pipe. After the pipe heats up, the vapor will not condense. Remember that the combustion of hydrocarbon fuel produces both carbon dioxide AND water vapor as a normal part of the process. All gasoline engines produce water vapor and all water vapor condenses if the exhaust pipe is cool.

What does it mean when water comes out the exhaust pipe of my impala?

Water comes out of all tailpipes no matter how minimal. The combustion reaction of burning gasoline (C8H18) and oxygen (02) produces carbon exhaust (Cx) and water (h20) thus leaving water in your tailpipe. Water can also appear in an exhaust pipe due to condensation. Water in an exhaust pipe is perfectly normal and is of no harm to your vehicle, or any vehicle.

When waters coming out of exhaust pipe a lot What is that mean?

When a significant amount of water is coming out of the exhaust pipe, it typically indicates that the engine is burning coolant, which can be a sign of a blown head gasket, a cracked engine block, or a damaged cylinder head. This can lead to serious engine overheating and damage if not addressed quickly. In some cases, especially in cold weather, initial water vapor may be normal as condensation forms in the exhaust system. However, persistent water indicates a more serious issue that should be investigated by a mechanic.
