Default sizzling exhaust normal?

Water is sizzling on my exhaust after driving a few miles. Dealer says the hose is in the right place. Anyone else have this problem? Is it normal? Driving my wife nuts. Maybe I could extend the hose.

Are you talking about the A/C Drain dripping on the exhaust pipe? If so, mine does a little on my longtubes...

It startled me the first time I heard it: thought the might be a wire shorted out, but there was no smoke or smell; then after looking under the car I figured it out and was relieved.

Default sizzling exhaust

It's very annoying especially in the garage because you can hear it better. I don't think there is a fix for it.

Mine does it also, I was concerned when I first started hearing it. Now I don't even notice it hardly. Just a normal thing.
