I have a 89 5.0 and a little bit of gas appears to come from the tail pipes. i was wondering if this just means my cats have been punched out because it sounds a little louder than stock. If I let it idel for a bit and snap it to 4K it will shoot it a good 5' back

You sure its not water? Water is a biproduct of combustion and condensation can collect in the mufflers, also if gas was comming out the tails it would be running so rich that your eyes would be watering.

I agree with 795.0pacecar, its probably just water. If you actually had fuel dripping out of the exhaust, you would have quite a few problems.

Probably water. One time my buddy called me saying one of my tailpipes was gushing water for a few seconds after a good rain, and when it was nice and cold.
