Steam/white smoke coming from exhaust at high speeds

[kiwiNCFC]

Hey!

The other week I went to see a friend who had loads of land and we normally drive our cars on there for a laugh. The other day I booted my 182 from around 20mph to 110mph and when I had a quick look in my rear view mirror there was loads of steam/white smoke coming from my exhaust up the rear window. My mate also said there was a little bit of petrol/vapour spitting out of the exhausts.

Is this just normal behaviour from engines under heavy load? The car is fine, but I was just wondering if there was anything to worry about?

​Thanks!

Probably just water in the backbox mate. Quite common

Exhaust was probably full of water/moisture 182's are prone to having back boxes with plenty in

I have the same problem with my 182, if you keep giving it a heavy right foot it will clear up.

Ah right cheers! Glad to see its normal

When i had mine changed, they took the backbox off and shook it about and you could hear the water sloshing about !
