Yellow Snow ? ? in Tailpipe

[harrykon]

Had a big blowing snow storm yesterday and some snow got packed into the tailpipe.

some of the snow in the tailpipe turned a funny yellow color, like there might be something coming out the pipe. It's yellow, not yellow-green like antifreeze. I took some pix, but haven't got a server to upload to...

Anyone ever see something like this before? Could it be sulfer or antifreeze? Would antifreeze after being burned still be yellow?

Just looking for some thoughts.

Thanks.

Maybe someone packed some snow in your tailpipe and peed on it

Unless what's coming out of the tailpipe is black or blue, don't worry about it.

Probably just rust.

Just exhaust residue probably plus moisture, I wouldnt worry about it

I wonder if Seafoam would fix this problem? Time for a new write-up... Aldive!!! We need to know how Seafoaming the exhaust affects mileage! I expect a full report after Christmas!

I got an offer to post the photo for me, so I'll do that tonight.

Sounds like it's not a big deal, but since I'd never noticed this on any of my other vehicles, I needed to run it by the forum.

My guess is sulphur residue from the catalytic converters--

Reminds me of piss in snow........

Yea dude.. someone totally took a piss on ur tailpipe....

I wouldn't worry about it, you don't expect your exhaust system to be perfectly clean, do you? it could be rust.... but then it would be orange.... but then its snow... aw who knows...

Thanx all. Had to ask...
