Water Vapour on cold days

[Clart]

My Zorst is chucking out sh!tloads of steam/water vapour now that its got cold. Should go after about 10 minutes right, but my stays for ages - what causes this?

Just condensation that sits in the exhaust getting blown out.

 

[Tom]

std exhaust?

heh get a turbo and see the sh*t that comes out then always fun leaving it in a car park for ages and starting it giving it a couple revs driving off and seeing a nice white car with black carbon sprayed up it

what u also gotta remember is one of the by-products of petrol combustion is water.

this normally vanishes without a trace, but when its colder it will begin to condense to a greater extent in ur exhaust, an ull see the vapour more easily as it condenses in the cold air (just like ur breath)

nowt to worry about!

I hate it when mine does that. I sometimes like to have a bit of a play with other cars on the way to work but the vapours a dead giveaway that youre going for it, mine chucks out loads when I plant my foot down.

I like to beat people without looking like Im really trying. All that vapour looks like youre ragging the butt off your car.
