Is this normal?

[Big_G]

Apologies if I'm being completely stupid here but is this normal? It seems to just be water but it's dripping from both mufflers, doesn't seems to be coming from anywhere though

could be down to your airconditioning, i noticed when i was hiring one in the states with the ac on there is a lot more condensartion coming out of the exhaust and when i turned it off the condensation went. just a thought.;)

Isn't that just a hole drilled into the exhaust to let water out that builds up. I think it is totally normal without it the exhaust would full up with water unless the exhaust gets very hot regularly.

Normal.

As said this is normal and exactly what those little holes are there for. Exhaust gas can contain quite a bit of water particularly when the engine is cold - it's condensation that forms inside the system when it cools down. Without the holes it would sit inside the exhaust until it got hot enough to evaporate off (when the engine is running) which causes corrosion and can freeze causing other problems too. So those drain holes are designed near the lowest point in the muffler to let the water out.

Thanks all, bit of a panic on when I saw 2 wet patches on the ground & something dripping

Yes noticed this today from one of the back boxes today.
Only because I bent over (to look) not something I do unless absolutely required!

Just a question is the factory exhaust a stainless steel system or good old fashioned mild steel?
