The normal combustion product of gas and oxygen is water (in the form of vapor because it is hot) and carbon dioxide. When you shut off a running car, water vapor in the air condenses to water as the muffler cools down. When you start the car, the exhaust gasses push the now liquid water out the back.

Why do you have water dripping out of 87 CBR1000F muffler when you stop the bike not really using up coolant and no water in the oil mufflers are also not the lowest point in exhaust?

The water you see comming from the exhaust is condensation. A by product of the combustion process is water and until the exhaust system gets hot enough to maintain the water in the exhaust in a gaseous state it will condense (fall out of the exhaust stream) in the exhaust system. After the engine gets warm and heats up the exhaust system the water does not condense in the exhaust system anymore and is dirrected into the atmosphere. P.K.

Why does the rear system of the exhaust usually break first?

Because that's where the exhaust temperature drops so how that that the water vapour in the exhaust can condense into rust-promoting water.


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.

What will blocked water box do to jet ski?

A blocked water box will prevent water from flowing into the exhaust system. Because jet skis have a fully-enclosed engine space, cooling of the exhaust system is vital to prevent overheating. With no cooling water flowing into the exhaust system, the exhaust system will overheat. Exactly what happens depends on the model and to some extent on luck. But usually one of the exhaust connections will burn through, causing exhaust to leak into the bilge.


Is it normal for water to be coming out your exhaust on a 5.7 suburban. No AC?

Water condensation coming from the exhaust is normal when the vehicle has been sitting in a wet area, but should stop once it is warmed up. Water from the exhaust after it is warmed up and white smoke from the exhaust is an indication of a blown head gasket.


How do you fix water from entering through the exhaust on a sportjet 200 hp?

To fix water entering through the exhaust on a SportJet 200 HP, first, inspect the exhaust system for any cracks or damage that may allow water intrusion. Ensure that the exhaust pipes and connections are properly sealed and free of leaks. Additionally, check the exhaust flapper valve for proper operation; it should close tightly to prevent backflow of water. Finally, consider installing a water separator or check valve if the issue persists to further prevent water from entering the exhaust system.
