Water Coming out of Tailpipes

[Mudeblue]

You’re blowing out all of the water that’s accumulated in your exhaust system from starting the engine and not actually DRIVING the car long enough to heat up and evaporate all of the accumulated moisture.

That’s one of the reasons why daily drivers that only go a couple of miles to and from each trip will need an exhaust system every few years.

The water rots the exhaust system from the inside.

You need to get the exhaust system hot enough to evaporate ALL of the moisture produced during the engine warm up period, otherwise it sits there and rots everything.

Nope! Arizona and I had been driving the car for over 1/2 hour and outside temperature was in the 80's with 15% humidity.

Drive it some more to get rid of the water accumulated in the mufflers. 1/2 hour won't do it.

But I think you aren't believing what we are telling you....

I hope that all had a winning day. Here is my two cents. When I lived in Syracuse NY we drilled an 1/8 inch hole in the bottom of our mufflers so that the excess water would drain out, we also drilled holes in the bottom of the doors same reason. That would slow down the metal from rusting. We also drilled little holes in our taillites to keep the bulbs dry.
PS My 1970 Newport tail pipes also deposit water on the ground when I idle her. That's why during winter if I run a vehicle I drive it for at least an hour.

you said your coolant never went down. so it has to be water. if you're using 10% ethanol fuel that might contribute to the amount .
