Too much condensation?
Hey everyone,
I'm just wondering if anyone else has this situation.. on my 88, if the car is at operating temperature and I leave it idle for a couple of minutes, a small pool of water will form inside the exhaust pipes at the exit - an actual pool, not just a little bit of moisture. It doesn't really seem to matter if the car has been on 3 minutes or 3 hours, it'll still form a pool.
I could try seeing if the 350 in my Firebird does the same thing, but it has downturned dual pipes so it doesn't really have anywhere to collect.
Anyone else notice this, or may it be indicative of something not quite right?
Thanks.

But, it usually doesn't drip anymore after 30 minutes of driving or so in warm weather.
Edited to add:
BTW, it's even worse after putting on the Corsa's, now the water is black and
stains the garage floor if I don't get it wiped up quick enough.

I didn't really notice it when I had the stock exhaust on, but it's pretty noticable with the Power Effects.
