Water dripping from exhaust??

So a couple fo weeks ago I cut my dual exhaust off and just dumped the pipes in front of the rear axle. I noticed something while under my truck that I not sure if I should be concerned about. I started my truck backed out of the garage turned around in the street and backed it into the garage to start cutting. At this point my truck was only started for approx. 1 minute, but I noticed 2 spots along the pipe dripping unusual amounts of condensation. It was on both ends of the pipe that runs along the length of the truck between the y-pipe and the new pipe extension added by the muffler shop to attach the new muffler to the existing pipe. Another thing I noticed for after I removed the exhaust, is the pipe extending to the back of the truck that went over the differential had a pretty good size dent where apparently I had hit a bump hard enough to pinch the pipe between the differential and the bottom of the bed and thought maybe I put a twist on the entire exhaust system to where it had caused small hole on the pipe where it is now leaking.

let me know what you guys think....concern or no concern

Mine drips alot too man, I dont think you should be too worried. I can leave a pretty good size puddle between the exhaust and a/c dripping just sitting in traffic.

Funny you post this now... just the other day when I was doing my oil change I noticed some water on the exhaust. Didn't think much of it though.
