91' Pickup Exhaust Problems... - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hello all. I have a 1991 Toyota Pickup that I love. Today I got some metal-metal contact weld, and fixed three small holes in my muffler. Now it seems that when I crank it up a large amount of water and smoke are coming out the tailpipe. I only cranked it up twice before I came in the house so I don't know how long this smoke/water will last. I was thinking that since I plugged the holes in the muffler, that the condensation and possibly small debris that had collected in there over the years is now coming out as water and smoke. Is this a possibility or am I not correct in assuming that since the muffler is airtight, it will now try to clear itself out?

Can someone help me, or at least give me some idea as to how long this problem will persist? Thanks ahead of time!

Anyone? Just want to get some more opinions before I get worried.

it should be ok the water should cook out of the muffler. make sure you don't have a blown head gasket first

Thanks, I checked my headgasket. The water and smoke have both stopped and my truck is running so good....even has a deeper sound and more power. I love it!!
