Used exhaust question, should I be concerned ??

Picked up a used APR RSC exhaust ... and found these at the bottom of the two rear mufflers.

I don't understand why there would be two pinholes at the seam like that. Obviously they've been there for quite some time. Should I get them closed up?

They are weep holes from the factory. Do not block them- they are intended to let condensation drain out.

This. Just make sure the seam itself hasn't cracked. The pinholes are fine though.

That makes sense....never actually seen them on any other system I've owned.

This, Every muffler ever built factory and aftermarket usually has these. Prevents water from accumulating inside of the muffler.

^^ this... & the black is from dirty soot water dripping out and spraying up on the exhaust. It's normal...

What they said. I just sold my APR exhaust and noticed the same thing as I was packing it up. Tried to reach APR but was unsuccessful, so I asked a local muffler shop. Put my mind at ease.
