H20 shooting out from muffler at warm up on 997.

I never notice it till this morning when I was behind my 997 warming up the car in the morning, and noticed water shooting out of my exhaust tips. Is this normal? Under circumstances, when water is coming out it indicates something is wrong.

It's not a lot, just a few drops.

I noticed the same on mine at cold startup. At first I was suspicious that my aftermarket mufflers may be the culprit, but then I checked around and this is normal.

The only thing I don't like is it also leaks out where the muffler piping meets the cats on each side - guess it's no cause for concern, but could this mean the brackets are not tightened down enough?

It is normal, but has nothing do to with running the AC. It is water from the combustion process. Once the exhaust heats up, the water evaporates so you don't see it any more.

Agreed, the water that Jason is referring to would be coming out of the middle of the car.
