Is it OK to have a waterfall exhaust?
When I start the car in the morning(stock 2000 180HP TT), water gushes out the stock exhaust and continues to trickle down like a waterfall. It does this in cold and warm weather. What could be causing this? Is it harming my engine? I haven't had any CEL codes and the car feels normal. I wanted to resolve this before I install an exhaust system. Any feedback would be welcomed.

what brand gas to u use? also where to u live? its not to uncommin to see a bit of
condensation collect in the exhasut and give a bit of water run off upon start up on a cold morning (or when the car it self is cold). but it shouldnt be more than maybe 12oz at the very most and thats realy kind of a lot but i have seen it happen on cars that are runing just fine and have been well kept. when i lived in TX it was super normal in teh summer to see this but the humidity is like 150% it seems in the summer there so water is everywhere!....

That's what I hoped to hear
It's just that I've never seen so much water come out of any car's exhaust. Just trying to make sure that water is not in the turbo or engine. Thanks again.

Hmm...I'm located in good ole Texas...
I use Chevron supreme with Techron. I just recently bought the car. Trying to get it into shape for future Mods. Speaking of which...do you know anything about a 'one off 2.5" turbo back exhaust system includes real 2.5" dp, 2.5" race cat, 2.5" "test pipe", borla stainless exhaust'? Any pics? Feel free to email me w/details if you do

With all this talk about Water Injection... I was under the impression that there are side effects..
