big drips of water dripping out of tail pipe
yesterday after driving for about 30 mins stopped in a parking lot checked my exhaust muffler was leaking still. Noticed too that water was dripping on to the ground from my exhaust pipe. was 7 inch diamater of water spot on the ground from the the water coming out of the exhaust.
Is this normal for a v8? Would I have to do a air intake manilfold gasket or head gasket repair?

There's a good chance you've got a head gasket leak and you're buring coolant. Does your exhast smell sweet? If so, you're buring coolant.

Your thinking to hard, I dought very much it has a coolant leak(head gasket) problem. Depending on outside temp, exhaust system temp , and driving habits this all sounds about normal. Incidently that is why the manufacturers put drain holes in the mufflers in the first place.

Try running a bottle of HEAT through it. Also try a different gas station.
I use to have some dripping that looked like more to normal to me, put a bottle of heat through it and I have been using only Shell Gasoline.
Havent seen a drip in some time. Could have been something else, also if you're running AC doesnt water come out the exhaust?
