ok this is strange. watching the video of my runs @ the track & in one there is water coming out of my exhaust. not like gallons, but not just a drip either. what in the h#ll does that mean? anyone even heard of this? please help, i'm starting to panic.

i hope its water, & not gas. :D
 
Water is a byproduct of combustion. Since the exhaust has all the combustion products, it will have water as well. The water will usually collect in low spots, but the increased exhaust velocity of WOT is enough motive force to push it out of the pipes.

If you look at cars in traffic, you will often see a small drip at idle.
 
i've always heard that water from the exhaust is normal, and a good thing.
my car has no cats, and will leave small puddles if it sits for a bit.
one guy i work with told me i sprayed two fine mist clouds when i layed into it on the way to work one morning :shrug:

i would assume its just moisture in the air making its way all the way thru the motor.
just make sure its not coolant, and that there is no oil in your coolant.
