That can't be gas. Why do you think it is?

Never heard of gas coming out of exhaust...... It might be water from condensation... I would hope its not gas.

Yeah...think about it....the fuel is injected into the combustion chamber, the spark ignites the fuel, the fuel burns, and the exhaust leaves via valve, goes to the headers, mid pipe and out the tail pipe. I can't imagne how unburned fuel could ever leave out a tail pipe for any reason....if it did, it would be on fire because the temp of the headers alone would probably ignite it.

So...yes...it is condensation. It might smell a bit like fuel because you don't have cats anymoe. To prove my point, collect some of the fluid and see if you can light it (be safe....just in case) or see if it evaporates like fuel.

Very good point. You may be thinking its fuel because of the smell the exhaust has no longer having the cats. Im positive it's just condensation and the exhaust fumes is making you think its fuel.

Trust me if it was gas you would know. When my car detonates I felt that un burned fuel igniting in my mid-pipe. Lots of flames shot out from the tail pipes too. This is all possible because of the un-catted mid pipe.
