I heard a popping sound coming from my car a few weeks ago. I looked underneath and saw some fluid dripping from the clamps on my midpipe. I have the FRPP dual exhaust kit. I've had the kit for over 2 years now and have never seen this before. The fluid doesn't have a smell so I am assuming its water. It was chilly on that other day so I just assumed that it was from condensation on the inside of the pipe. But it has started to happen more frequently even on days where the temp is above 70.

Anybody experience this problems? Is this an indication that I need to tighten the clamps on my exhaust pipes?

The car still seems to run fine and by the time I get home (40 min) the sound and fluid are gone. But initially its quite a bit of fluid. Like I sat in one spot with the AC running.

Any ideas?

I get condensation from all three of my cars every day, it's no big deal. If it's just water, it's just normal.

Does it make a pinging sound? Like someone tapping on a steel pole?

Normal condensation. It's gotta go somewhere. That's why it's bad to drive short trips. That condensation doesn't get a chance to evaporate from the exhaust heat and any moisture left over in most non-stainless steel systems will destroy pipes, mufflers, etc.

But we are in agreement that the 05' - 09' Mustangs have stainless steel pipes and mufflers, right?

^^ But that doesn't mean it's going to last forever. Everything will and does fall apart eventually.
