I have found that my 86.5 N/A produces a large amout of water from the tail pipe. Also I am also quite sure there isn't a coolant leak. Is there a way to stop this?
Thanks.

attach a spark plug to the inside of the tailpipe and run a hot wire to it. :)

Might mean you're running cool, in that there isn't enough energy in the exhaust to keep the water vapourized until it exits. Might be running rich.

Thoughts?

Assuming that it is just water it sounds to me like you have a properly functioning catalytic converter. Its purpose is to convert your exhaust into water to reduce emissions. Quite normal.

Yeah, I'd recommend just cutting those off :p

Let those new smart cars take up our slack on emission standards :mrgreen:
