i have stock exhaust with a cutout behind rear axle. in cold weather after i shut the car off, steam still comes out of the pipes. i have just never seen any other car do that before. is this anything to worry about?

 

How long has the car been running? I know it's natural for the exhaust vapors to be seen when it's cold just like our breath, but I thought after awhile you couldn't see them anymore. Maybe I'm wrong. I bet it's probably just the rest of the gases in the exhaust just venting out after shutdown. I have heard that exhaust "steam" means a blown head gasket but I think you'd know if you had one of those or not. Good luck

 

Mine does that now and then too. I think it's normal.

 

When its cold outside steam comes out of my mouth when I breath should I go see a docter,I bet your tail pipes dont "steam" after about 5-10 min,thats because they have cooled down. Use your head bro.

 

He was, especially by double checking with the people on this board. Give him a break. It never hurts to have someone back you up.

 

yeah sorry for not "using my head" i was just wondering. i have never seen anyones car do that before.

 

Sorry about that I guess it does'nt get to cold where your from, Here in Toronto our winter's are damm cold so its normal to see every car have steam out of there exhaust for a few minutes after shutdown.
