blown head gasket for sure, check for creamy milky oil.

Well the only way (I know of at least) that coolant can end up inside the exauhst pipe is if coolant is flowing out of the exauhst valves from the combustion chamber. This means coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber through the gap between the head and block.

Only other thing I can think of is if your intake manifold isnt sitting flush on the head and its pooring coolant into the intake ports next to it.
