Exhaust Condensation?

Recommended Posts

Afternoon,

I've read a few threads on here about this, but thought I would ask:

I've had my GT86 a few months now and noticed a couple of times, what I hope, is condensation coming out of the exhaust.

Today, probably the coldest and dampest day since I purchased my car, I noticed quite a thick amount of white condensation (steam - smoke?) coming out my exhaust for about 20 seconds after start up, it then reduced significantly, but it was still happening. I had a short 5 minute drive and when parked up I checked and still a small amount coming out, but hardly any. Also noticed after turning the engine off there was still a slight amount coming out for a short amount of time. Also getting close to the exhaust and it didn't smell like smoke. 

Does this sound like steam or something worth checking out?

I don't have the car for that long.. but that sounds similar to what I experience (probably normal).. hopefully most people will say the same :)

I had the same thoughts as you initially.

Could it be steam?

It's normal, had it for a couple of years when using the stock exhaust, it's not as noticable on my current setup (then again it's not really been cold enough for me to notice it recently)
