This morning I was warming up my car for about 5-10 min in the driveway, and I had to turn off my car to go get something in the house, after coming back out from my house, about 5 min I've notice that there is a little bit if water dripping down between where the flange on my exhaust pipe toward the back of the muffler section. is this nomal?? do I have a exhaust leak?? =(
 
May Be Condensation From The Cold Weather And Hot Exhuast Pipe? Exhuast Leak U Would Be Able To Hear :)
 
most mufflers have drain holes.....usually to the rear of the can.......there is enough condensation with in an exhaust that it would eventually be a prob......(at least to OEM) but many companies that make stainless units dont .......uhhhh cause there stainless and wont rust out..........maybe mazda spec'd ours to have a drain hole?????

i would not worry unless it sounds different
 
I had the same problem, go under the car and check the bolts that hold the flange together mine were loose, It would leak like that and it would have a rattle at about 3k rpms, so I would check that.
