Dripping Exhaust-is this normal?

[Keg26]

Guys,

I pulled my truck out of my garage into my driveway and noticed my truck was dripping from what appears to be the exhaust. Is this normal? I think it's just water but wanted to check if this is considered typical. I noticed it dripping in two locations in what I think is the exhaust. This is a new 2021 bighorn 1500 with less than 1800 miles.

I'm not all that mechanically savvy so please bear with me.

Thanks in advance!

Muffler yes. I wouldn’t think the bolted flange should leak though. I haven’t seen that flange un bolted. if it’s had a design for that yes. Every flange joint I seen leaks if there is a exhaust leak. Do you feel air at the flange?

Every vehicle I have ever owned has some type of exhaust leak. If you feel it is excessive have the dealer check it out. It should cause no problems.

Totally normal - the engine warming up causes condensation in the exhaust, and it's why our mufflers, etc. have weep holes by design.

The weep hole on the muffler is supposed to drip. That's why it's there. The flange shouldn't leak, but I would suspect it's the AC drain dripping and running down it, not a leak.

Condensation can and will leak from the exhaust at various points. I wouldn't worry too much about it

Thanks, everybody. I appreciate all the responses.

Condensation. Totally normal.

This is your culprit. I parked my truck today and heard hissing from moisture hitting a hot surface. I looked under the truck, and saw the AC dripping onto the exhaust. Seems like a bad place to have it drip but its not really hurting anything so no big deal. FWIW, I could see water in the same place as the photo, so I'm sure that's what's going on.
