CHECK YOUR STOCK MUFFLERS - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

i have been reading the threads where the guys change their exaust systems and find water in their stock exaust, when taking them off.so i wanted to check mine.it is warm this morning,so i decided to crawl underneath my car and check them out.sure enough,the drain holes were plugged and the mufflers were full of water.
i stuck a very small screw driver thru the drain holes to let them drain.water has been coming out for over a half hour.
the drain holes are located on the bottom center of the muffler towards the front of the car.

You're right! The stock mufflers sitting in my storage shed do have drain holes!!

Have have noticed that water is leaking out of my muffler but never checked underneath the car. Now your saying that your drain holes were plugged and your muffler was full of water so I guess if mine is leaking water thats ok?

Ok thanks, but where is the water coming from?

FYRFTR02 · 03-31-2010, 04:25 PM

Water,byproduct of internal combustion engine !!

Is it drinkable? Maybe it could be bottled and sold as "Camaro Juice".

2010 SSRS · 04-01-2010, 01:56 PM

wish it was alcohol

purplhaizcraz3 · 04-01-2010, 02:08 PM

Are there any negatives to water being in the mufflers? And if not, whats the point of draining it if it doesn't harm anything? Sorry for the Qs, I just don't know much about anything
