need an answer to a simple question....
Hey All!!!
I have a simple question that i need you to answer for me.
You know how when the weather is cold outside and you get that little cloud of smoke from your exhaust pipe, when the warm air meets cold air???? keeping that in mind,
The weather had been cold here the last few days, i noticed that i have more of a cloud comming out of one exhaust pipe that i do out the other...
My exhaust system comes off a set of L&L headers into 3" pipe then into a set of dual mufflers and then a 90 degree right behind the rear tire..
Could something be wrong or am i just paranoid?

Paranoid....
Moisture collects in the muffler as it cools off. This moisture then turns to steam/water vapor when you first start the engine and the hot exhaust passes thru it. Depending on how much moisture collected in the muffler, the outside temps, water vapor in the air, etc, will have an affect on the cloud you see in the mornings around your tail pipe.
If the cloud is there after the engine is warm and all the moisture is gone from the muffler and you are above idle, then, yes you may have a problem. Specially if the cloud has a sweet antifreeze smell.
