    Hello all, I have a 2019 Tundra Crewmax, regular exhaust for 5.7 L v8.

    I noticed some drips from flange and a donut connection points on truck. Some water on ground in morning.

    Are there weep holes here? Others have same thing and normal?


    Truck is driving fine, seeking reassurance.

    Mines leaking at every connection points, pre muffler and at cats. Should I take it in to get looked at then?

    Your exhaust looks great for 2019 model year. The water is just condensation in the exhaust, the flanges are not completely air tight and I think ideally you want the water to have a place to escape without getting trapped and causing rust. Don’t worry about it!

    The gaskets are leaking. The front ones are easy to buy on Amazon. I wouldn’t care about the seal after the muffler

    Ok great, I guess the main question is it possible exhaust gas could be coming out if water can?

    Yes there is likely a tiny amount of exhaust gas coming out, but would be so minimal as to not be a concern. 99.9% is exiting the tail pipe in your situation.

    in my case i could hear a very slight noise from the front gaskets so i replaced them and it was gone. They were fel pro so not oem expensive
