well i'm sure it's pretty humid over there, so the water thing isn't a big deal. mine does that too. I believe water is a byproduct of the cobustion reaction. As far as seeing the fumes come out I'm not sure.

It's normal. That's why most mufflers have weep holes.

Mine either. Look at a stock muffler. They usually have them. I was thinkin of drilling one it mine. Otherwise, water will tend to stay in there and rot them from the inside.

Yepper ...that's right. My OEM has a weep hole. Without one your mufflers will rust out in a short time.
