Default Holes in titanium muffers ?

While taking a few shots from the underside of the car I noticed one small hole in each of the two titanium muffers. I'm still very new to the Z06, so this may sound stupid but are those holes supposed to be in that place ?! Somehow they look like they were done by the previous owner instead of a factory thing.... but then again they look to be in the very same place on each side of the muffler, also the car surely doesn't sound like it's having "drilled out" mufflers... can somebody please give me more info about this...
thanks,
Alex

Condensate removal 99% sure.

Just checked on my mine and I have them to. Seeing how they are at the low point of the muffler I'd say they are for letting water/condensate drain out.

Thanks :o: , I was a little worried that the previous owner screwed up my TI's by drilling holes into them...

Actually you just discovered why the Ti's flow better than the stock C5 mufflers.

It is that, otherwise our rears would look worse then they already do after driving.
