Default Water dripping from muffler and converter...

When I start my truck, I get water that drips out of the muffler near the rear of the truck and the catalytic converter(?) about in line with the front door. I get a noticeable amount each time. Is this normal or have I just not burnt off the water that may have accumulated during shipping? To have this daily just seems like a lot of water. Any help is greatly appreciated. Red

Nice rig !!!!

Condensation is normal... and thier may be drain holes in the mufler to alow this to occur, My 06 2500 SLT 4x4 RC 2500 5.7 ( When I had the stock ex system ) dripped water quite a bit on start up.

water is a product of combustion, so after you turn off your truck, there is probably a little bit of water vapor inside your exhaust and it turns to liquid after it cools down, so when you start it, it all comes out
