Weird thing, have water comming outta my exhaust pipes in the morning????? Is this normal? I live in Phoenix Az (not much water here cannot be condensation) anyone have this problem? Its just when i start it in the morning not while i drive.
Also new noise, when i floor it just b4 it switchs into second gear right at 5000 rpm for a brief milliasecond there is a slight vibrating sound (sounds like a 5' speaker when it distorts when played too loud) but it only lasts not even a second. then as soon as it switchs gears it quits. i think it only happens on the 1-2 shift and not any other.

Hey Yoda,
Im not completely sure what the sound is on your 1-2 WOT. This is just a guess about the watter issue, but when combustion takes place especially on a big 5.4 block such as the one in our Lightnings, water is produced. During combustion you have fossil fuel & Oxygen coming together in a chemical reaction. When this process occurs it is not a perfect reaction, and because it is not perfect you have chemicals being produced after the reaction has occured. The common chemicals or molecules produced are as follows.

(process of internal combustion below)
C(4)H(10)+5O(2)--->2CO(2)+CO+5H(2)O

CO2-Carbon Dioxide
C0-Carbon Monoxide
H-Hydrogen (usually bonds to O to become H2O)
O-Oxygen (usually bonds to H to become H2O)
H2O-Water

Hope this is correct. It's been a little while since I took Chemistry.

Sincerely,
Metallic Blue

This is Normal....I punched a very tiny hole at the rear bottom of the muffler so that the water runs out of this area, rather than through the tailpipes. Since the exhaust is stainless, there is no problem with doing this.
