I bought a 89 GMC vandura with a 5.7L engine with no muffler.IT ran o.k but was a little loud,No problem with over heating or leaks.Had a new muffler and tailpipe put on, and water began leaking from intake manifold on the drivers side.Also when i start up the engine in the morning much more then droplets of water come form the tailpipe. ---

There is no way that exhaust work can cause an intake manifold to do anything. ---
