Stock muffler leaks already!

I have a 06 Screw with only 11,000 miles on it and today I found a nice blowout at the muffler seems. My buddy noticed something leaking under the truck and it was condensation coming out of the muffler. I am going to get a Roush exhaust anyway but has anyone had this happen with so little miles. I wonder if I should just go use the warranty and get a new one anyhow?

Stealth is correct. The mufflers have weep holes in them because the catalytic converter produces a fair amount of water.

there is a black soote trail on the bottom of the muffler is that normal? Looks like a leak. It makes sense what you guys are saying though. Thanks!

Local muffler shop guy told me that Magnaflows collect moisture and can rust from inside.
