RE: watery pipes

condensation in the exhaust pipes. It's normal. Don't worry about it.

RE: watery pipes

rotten eggs is usually bad catalytic converters or o2 sensors, but it's unrelated to the water coming out of your pipes.

RE: watery pipes

When gasoline burns the main products of combustion are carbon dioxide and water. When the exhaust system is cold, the water is condensed and drips out the drain holes in the mufflers. When the exhaust is hot, the water comes out in an invisible gas. No problem unless you are also losing coolant.
