Why is water (?) coming from my muffler (?)
And more importantly what to do to stop it?
I smelled this liquid from my fingers and it seemed to be just water.
Thanks guys!

It most likely is condensation how to stop it not 100% on that one but I'm about 75-85% sure it's condensation

No its nothing to worry about with the temperatures changing and all there will be a little bit as if a water bottle was sweating from defrosting

Condensation/moisture in exhaust is normal.

It's supposed to. Catalytic converters create h2o from the exhaust gasses. Just make sure you drive it long enough to get the temps up for awhile so the water evaporates, or else you will be replacing the exhaust soon.

I noticed the exhaust water is dripping from the middle of the mufflers not out of the tail pipes. I don't think this is normal. Can anyone help?

Any low spot in the exhaust system will have a small hole for condensation to escape where it collects. It would rust out very fast otherwise.
