A little water in exhaust
Well i went to one of those 1 dollar car wash places with the high power hose. I was just spraying the dirt off and the back of the diffuser. I'm not sure but i may have sprayed some water into the exhaust. Just a little paranoid, but what the worse that can happen? anybody with experience with such car washes feel free to chime in. I don't think it could've been more than going to a machine car wash that sprays water, but like i said i'm paranoid since i just got car.

Assuming the exhaust was hot when you sprayed, together with the fact you soon thereafter got the car up to operating temp, i would not worry.. most of it evaporated. Its not as if you held a hose full on down the outlets.

When I was little, I used to put the hose in my mom's car and fill the whole thing up with water
. Then I'd turn the car on and the water would shoot out
. Please don't hate, I was a little kid.
Nothing ever happened to the car. Not that I could tell anyway.
I think as long as you don't enter the cylinders through the exhaust valves, you are OK. You should drive a bit to dry it out though.

you can vapor lock your engine if water enters the intake, but no issue with it getting in the exhaust. ^ used to do the same thing with exhausts and water when i was a kid too! hahaha
