Wet Inside Exhaust

[Mad Maxx]

I just got my Exhaust put On 2 Days ago. When I was at the Back of the Truck Today, I Looked Down at the Exhaust and Noticed it was Wet Inside. Ofcourse there is Soot in there, so it's Black, but it's also Wet.

I Wiped some with my Finger and Smelled it, and it doesn't Smell like anything. Nothing, not even Diesel. It's like I'm Smelling Black Water.

Any Ideas as to what it could be from?

When I put my Intake On, and was Working from the Front of the Turbo, it was as Dry and Clean as can be, if this Helps at all.

Sounds like it's just condensation. How long had the engine been running at the time and what was the ambient temp?

I was just Out and Running it, prob. for about 30-45 Minutes, came Home, Shut it Off, Looked at the Exhaust and Saw it was Wet.

It's High 40's Outside.

Water is a by-product of combustion, and with it being cool out on a large exhaust it will cause condensation. I'm thinking that's all it is.

Could it still be Crap Burning Off from the New Exhaust? It's only been on the Truck for 2 Days.

My vote is condensation. Give it a good highway blast so that the exhaust is still hot by the time it exits the pipe. That should dry it all out.

Oh trust me, I'm Stretching this things Legs ALOT. It Sounds awesome with the Straight Pipe...and it's not Fast enough yet to Take Off like a Maniac when you Hit the Go Pedal, so you can "Stay In it" for a lil bit.

Check it after a good highway run. Condensation is still my guess.

Yea, I'll keep an Eye on it.
