What causes the popping sound from the exhaust pipe of the 10th-generation Accord?

The reason for the popping sound from the exhaust pipe of the 10th-generation Accord: excessive moisture in the fuel. After the combustion of the air-fuel mixture, it produces a large amount of carbon dioxide and water vapor. When the temperature is too low, the water vapor condenses into water, which over time can cause the car's exhaust to produce a popping sound. The 10th-generation Accord is a mid-size car launched by GAC Honda, with dimensions of 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, and 1449mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2830mm. The 10th-generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine and a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum horsepower of 194ps and 146ps, and maximum torque of 260nm and 175nm, respectively.
I also experienced similar issues with my 10th-generation Accord. The chugging sound from the exhaust pipe is quite common, usually caused by exhaust system leaks or engine ignition failures. Loose exhaust pipe connections, rusted-through sections, or pipe cracks can lead to gas leakage, producing that chugging sound, especially noticeable during acceleration. Ignition-related problems like worn spark plugs, damaged ignition coils, or clogged fuel injectors can cause incomplete combustion in some cylinders, affecting power output. Additionally, with the 10th-generation Accord's small-displacement turbocharged engine, carbon buildup is more likely in stop-and-go city driving, exacerbating these symptoms. I recommend checking the dashboard for warning lights immediately upon hearing the sound. If there's abnormal noise from the engine compartment, be extra cautious - don't force the car to run to avoid damaging other components like the catalytic converter. For prevention, regular maintenance with spark plug replacement (typically every 30,000 km) is advisable. If you're not mechanically inclined, getting a professional inspection early can save major repair costs later. Safe driving should always come first.
