Default Exhaust leaks

When i bought my 02 sixer it had an exhaust leak on the passenger side. I was waiting to get it fixed and yesterday i realized that my driver side is doing it now. It sounds weird coming out of the pipes. Will this hurt my car if left unfixed for too long. and what made the other side start.

A bunch of retards are going to tell you it has something to do with water dripping from the a/c but in reality it's caused by weak welds and leverage from the heavy piping.
