Stock exhaust how far would you need to drive to get the exhaust hot enough to burn off the condensation in the exhaust. If outside temps are 70 degrees and 70% humidity?

Are you concerned about something? It's not harming anything.

This sounds like an SAT question I once had 12 years ago. I was drinking a beer and immediately got a headache when I read this question. Maybe I'm dumb but, I have no idea on how to solve this one. Lol.

what's the point as soon as you shut off the engine after getting the conensation out of it the whole process starts again. In a stainless system it doesn't matter that much IMO.

30 miles I believe is what's required to get everything hot enough on the free way to prevent what you're referring too.
