Exhaust not getting hot?

Try changing all your gaskets they may be leaking. I think if it upgraded it might be ceramic coated to reduce heat and is not as restricted. Hey message me on here so we can talk cars you seem like you have done alot and I like good opinions from people that like Hondas

All the header polts must be put on and torqued correctly so the exhaust gasket doesn't blow. This isn't why the exhaust pipe doesn't get hot. The water from condensation should come out when the engine is cold, but cease after the *engine* gets hot. There still could be some water coming out as a normal combustion product. After the engine gets to operating temperature i wouldn't expect more than a drop every so often, not a pouring stream. Honda engines do run very clean and water is a normal exhaust product. Keep an eye on your coolant level just to make certain it isn't migrating through the combustion chambers. After a few weeks if the coolant level doesn't go down, rest easy.

Some engineer named Singh configured a combustion chamber with special grooves and noticed after that the exhaust temberature went down a significan amount and economy increased. The article about this was in Popular Mechanics magazine a few years ago and subsequently no further thing was written about that in Pop Mech. You could research "Current Contents" at the library if you need to see th earticle or an abstract of it. Perhaps your mods had the same effect on your engine as Mr. Singh's grooves.

Your tail pipe is cold because all the exhaust heat is being lost in the tube header.I bet the header is hot.The water is a normal byproduct of combustion and is condensing in the cold pipe.You make about 3 gallons of water vapor for every 10 gallons of gas you burn.O2+a hydrocarbon=CO2+H2O.

UU GOT A LEAK SOME WHERE IS THE CAR RUNNING SMOOTH HAVE U LOST ANY POWER THAT U REALIZE ?? , THE WATER OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE IS THE VERY BEGINNING OF SIGNS OF A BLOWN HEAD GASKET, , IV NEVER HAD TO CHECK THE TEMP OF A TAIL PIPE BEFORE NEVER HAD A REASON TO IS THERE A IMPORTATION REASON YOU NEED THE TAIL PIPE TO BE HOT ? OR A CERTAIN TEMP, WOULD YOU BE KIND ENOUGH TO LET ME KNOW YOUR REASON YOU WANT THE TEMP TO BE A CERTAIN TEMPERATURE ??, BRIAN BUCKEYE286@YAHOO.COM, THANKS AND GOOD LUCK, ANOTHER WAY TO FIND OUT A ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION IS TO GOOGLE YOUR QUESTION,

in my opinion if your exhaust runs hot all the way to the rear, its very restrictive.
