i am getting quite a bit of smoke coming out of one side of my exhaust waymore than the other and specially after it warms up one side will quit smoking completly and the other side will still smoke quite a bit. any ideas on what could cause this or how i could fix?

I always get more smoke out of one side.

Do you have an x or h pipe?

Did it just start smoking or has it been getting worse over time? My valve stem seals are getting a bit worn and on startup I get a little smoke and it's mainly on one side (stock exhaust).

with an H pipe you will usually get more on just one side from the coorsponding bank.

What color is the smoke?

i currently have an h pipe with 2 cats on each side and planning on switching to a catless x pipe and wanted to fix this first, it is a white smoke and even after driving for about 45 minutes home last night it was still doing it, and when feeling inside the exhaust it is a little moist

Have you ever run the car hot? Friends car did the same and he had a head gasket problem

TripleJay22

the car overheated once because of loss of coolant but other than that never runs hot

Tha Boss

Think you might have a head gasket problem. Might not be amazingly serious but thin you might have one

yeah that is what i was thinking also, my dads friend said his 5.0 has a head gasket go bad and it mas really noticable in power wise but i have never really noticed any differenc my motor runs perfect.
