The Catcon produces water vapor from the exhuast...ever seen cars dripping from the muffs? Once the pipes and the cats heat up, this will burn off anything left in the pipes and muffs.

This is also the reason many manufacturers use stainless steel in the exh. pipes because of the corrosion factor attributed from short hauls which doesn't burn (evaporate) off the liquid throughout the system. (sorry for the run-on sentence)

No Cat in mine... It's done that since day one.

 

Water is a bi-product of combustion. When Oxygen combines with Hydrogen, during the combustion process water (vapour) (H2O) as well as heat is produced. Until the temperature of the exh. pipes etc is above vapor point water can be seen as the vapour condenses on the pipes. More exh. etc. is evacuated out the right pipe so the left one would remain cooler for a longer period of time allowing more water to appear to accummulate in it. Also, when the bike is on the jiffy stand the bike is leaning to the left where water would accummulate in the left pipe as it is the lowest point in the system. At low ambient temperatures water vapour will condense for a longer period of time and thus give you the impression there is more water only because it can be seen for a longer period of time. Once the pipes etc. come up to temperature water should remain vaporized and thus unseen. In answer to your question, seeing water coming out the exh. pipe is normal and would be nothing to be concerned about.

 

Completely normal with the stock head-pipes. I changed to true-duals and haven't had as much moisture out the left pipe. More exhaust= more heat= less time to burn off the condensate.

 

Thanks for the explanations guys...especially yours, NUTE. I understood the last sentence just fine.
