Moisture in exhaust
Do any of you guys still drill a hole in the lowest point of your mufflers to let the water drain? How about in the lowest part of the exhaust (most likely the section going under the spring)?
I see water leaking from the bottom most joint of 2 pipe sections. Should I not worry and just clamp a little tighter? These ARE stainless steel afterall....

If you drive only very short distances and the system does not get hot enough to turn the water to vapor then a drain hole might be needed. Although with stainless steel, if good stainless, not the variety that a magnet will stick to. I wouldn't think it would matter much for the pipes, but the muffler probably is not stainless.
