I Got A New Exhaust And White Smoke Comes Out Is That Normal Also The Exhaust Tip Gets Really

White smoke comes out of exhaust Why?

There could be many causes for white smoke to emit from your pipe. While it is not always a sign of serious mechanical problem, white exhaust smoke is a sign that a car needs to be mechanically evaluated or serviced. Some white smoke emission is normal if you start a car in a cold weather. The most common cause is the leakage of coolant or antifreeze into the combustion chamber. This is a sign of either the deterioration or a crack on the head gasket. If this is the problem, it is best you replace the gasket because if you keep driving your car with this leakage, it will further damage the other part of your engine. Other areas you should check regarding the white smoke problem are the piston oil rings, piston compression rings, valve seals and valve guides as these are also can contribute to releasing white smoke if loose or not working properly.

Now, according to the mechanic, you are having a cylinder misfire problem. A cylinder misfire can be caused by a weak spark(from a worn out or damage spark plug) and a lack of compression(from deteriorating or damaged head gasket). If the engine is just abit worn out and loose, a simple regular maintenance and tune up is all you need and will cost you roughly 100-300$ depending on where you have your car serviced. However, if it is really the case of your head gasket blown up, a replacement is necessity and yes you looking at roughly around 1500-2000$. By all mean, try to seek a different quote from many different dealers if indeed your problem is your blown gasket. You might be able to find a cheaper comparative price. Good luck ^^

I put in a new exhaust and white smoke is coming and a weird smell.?

I agree with the other responders. Give it a bit of time to burn off any residue from the manufacturing process. If it carries on for any more than a week, you need to take it in and see why there is white smoke. As a reminder, excessive white smoke generally means burning antifreeze. Blue smoke means burning oil. Black smoke means an engine is burning too much fuel.

I have white smoke coming out of my exhaust but i have no coolant loss?

Every vehicle is likely to show a small amount of white smoke when first started, especially on cold mornings. As long as the smoke disappears as the engine warms up, there is no need to worry. It's the result of cold fuel and steam as the manifold heats up, and the white is actually the steam burning off.
There's a more serious problem if your vehicle continues to emit white smoke after it is fully warmed up. This indicates the presence of either water or coolant – antifreeze – in the combustion chamber. Since these substances are not supposed to be burned during internal combustion, they can cause serious problems with your engine -- often indicating a damaged head gasket -- that are costly to repair.
The odor of the smoke can indicate if you have a coolant leak. If antifreeze is present in the combustion chamber, the white smoke will have a sweet smell. Also check your oil. Milky oil indicates the presence of coolant but can also mean nothing; heavy humidity can cause moisture to form in the crankcase, resulting in a similar symptom. Do not attempt to drive your car if the oil looks more like a milkshake than motor oil, as this is a sign of excessive water or coolant in the oil.
Water coming from the tail pipe is usually nothing to be concerned about. It indicates condensation buildup, or is the byproduct of the steam when first starting the vehicle. Most exhaust systems dispel small amounts of water through the tail pipe. Water from the muffler itself is also a normal occurrence, and is likely coming from the weep hole. This water is a byproduct of the catalitic converter, which helps control the vehicle's emissions.

White smoke and gas blowing out my exhaust pipe?

Most likely your problem is being caused by a sticky fuel injector. When a fuel injector sticks open it constantly sprays fuel into the combustion chamber even when there is no spark being supplied to that cylinder. Therefor all that fuel gets expelled from the combustion chamber through the exhaust. The white colored smoke is the raw fuel burning in the exhaust pipe. The white smoke may also be caused by a blown head gasket(which can be caused by a stuck injector).

White smoke coming out of exhaust after putting in more oil?? Anyone know why?

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan white smoke coming from exhaust?

If it was just a small amount of white smoke that quickly dsappates upon start up in the morning It was likely water vapor from the exhaust system. when hot metal cools off it pulls moisture from the air which condenses inside the esnaust system. Most mufflers actually rust from the inside out. Stainless steel coated exhaust systems last a little longer, its the heat of the engine usually blows out a small amount of water, and then some will vaporize into steam. White smoke or black somke can also be fuel, the difference is if its fuel it smells strongly, and the engine would be missing too. Its normal to get small amounts upon start up, its usually a lot more visible when the weather is cold.

There is white smoke coming out of my catalytic converter, what does that mean?

You said the ATF fluid was just changed.
How recently?
Recently enough that some fluid or oil could have be spilled at the catalytic converter causing it to smoke a little until the fluid burns off?

I have to agree with one of the other answers, how does smoke come out of the catalytic converter but not the exhaust. All exhaust has to pass through the converter to get to the tailpipe.

To me it sounds like something was spilled on the converter and its burning off.

The braided steel looking thing in the photo is not a catalytic converter. It's a flex joint. Your catalytic converter is what is on the right in this photo. Good news is the flex joint, is a common problem on the Camry. The part is only $20-30 bucks but you need to have somebody cut out and weld in a new one. Probably $200 total assuming that is leaking.

I had put excess motor oil into a car. White smoke started coming out of the tailpipe. It has been three days and everything seems to be fine. Could a blown gasket still be an issue?

If you put way to much oil in for the engine, you may well get loads of white smoke. i did this once on a motorcycle which tended to ‘wet sump’ (the oil normally carried outside the engine, leaked into the engine overnight) every time I checked the level before starting it was low, so I topped it up)the oil was actually leaking into the engine and the oil pump happily pumped it back out after a few minutes, but, I had already checked it and added more.Result was one day I started and clouds of white smoke poured out of the exhaust.In fact only the other day this happened (same model of bike) as it had wet sumped so much the oil was hitting the piston skirt.…And in case people say anything, its an aircooled engine….So yeah, loads of white smoke can be caused by too much oilYou HAVE drained out or extracted the excess though… Haven’t you???Garages have a suction device that can draw excess up and out through the dipstick tube… Pop in and have a word….
