Why is there smoke coming out of my exhaust pipe?
If so, it is likely that a lot of condensation had collected in the exhaust and when the accelerator pedal was pressed hard, it forced the water out of the pipe and caused the smoke that was seen. If the car is running fine, it is unlikely that there is anything to worry about.
Why do I have black smoke coming from my tailpipe?
If there is a lack of of air coming into the engine, the fuel will be burnt partially then leads to black smoke from tailpipe. Fuel needs to be burnt fully as it will only emit CO2 and water, which do not cause black smoke. That is why the correct combination of fuel and air is so important if you want to avoid black smoke.
What to do if you have a leak in your exhaust pipe?
The first is to let the car idle and plug the exhaust pipe with a rag. The blocked pipe will force the exhaust out of the leak in greater volume and it may be audible. The second way is to fill a spray bottle with soapy water and spray it around the flex pipe to see if any bubbles are visible.
What should be considered when designing an exhaust system?
Well-designed exhaust systems collect exhaust gases from engine cylinders and discharge them as quickly and silently as possible. Primary system design considerations include: Minimizing resistance to gas flow (back pressure) and keeping it within the limits specified for the particular engine model and rating to provide maximum efficiency.

What causes white smoke coming from the tailpipe?

What does black soot in or on a tailpipe mean?
For instance, the fuel control sensor may be faulty, the fuel injector may be leaking or clogged, the fuel pressure may be too high or the pressure regulator may be leaking. If a car is producing black soot, it is best to have it checked by a mechanic for the right diagnosis.
