High Roller:

It's normal. Mufflers have what's known as "Pee Holes". Hey, I didn't make it up. They allow the mufflers to drain and not rust from the inside-out.

I think you're OK on this one....

Are the mufflers made by the same people as our intercoolers?

Exhaust gets hot.
Outside air is colder than exhaust.
Cold and Hot mix, make water.

When the weather is right my Muffler and Side Pipes will pee about a pint of water in the morning. The first time It happen I jumped out to verify any leaks from the engine or Intercooler. I was suprised how much water the exhaust can collect over night.

I think it was two weekends ago the water was just pouring out. I now notice nothing comming out with differnt Weather. I bet everybody with a Lightning in San Diego notice the high amounts of water for that week.

Red2000SVT - Did you do the same thing when you say all the water?

I take my L in for the first service Saturday and I have been freaking out about the water in the exhaust (after reading the intercooler threads).

Thanks a million for your responses...
