Default muffler leakin rust water?

I just got my 93 Blazer but I don't have plates and insurance so its been sitting for a little. I start it up and let it run at least once a week, but there seems to be a rusty water coming out of my muffler. The muffler just got replaced less then a year ago...should I be worried? Is there anything I can do? What is causing it?

Help me please!

its condensation inside your pipe. theres nothing you can do about it. its rusty because your exhaust pipe isn't painted inside and the water is causing it to rust. well, you could get an aluminized or even stainless exhaust bent up...if you were building a show truck. otherwise, i wouldn't worry about it. its normal wear and tear.

hey thanks, I just wanted to make sure there is nothing to worry about. only because exausts can tend to be expensive, rather put the money towards some new mods

I had the same problem when I had my mustang. Water got inside (don't know how) and my cat rusted and fell off. It sounded like a crotch rocket when I gave it a little gas. It was pretty sweet sounding since it made my car sound like it had *****. Just check for rust once in a while underneath just to make sure.

that's what I am worried the most about...having it rust through then having to replace it. Is there anyway to get the water out? or preventing it from having more getting in there?

Not anything I can think of. Just don't go and spray water with a hose up there or park it in water that's higher than the exhaust tip.
