dont think it really causes any problems. most cars and truck mufflers have weep holes built into them because of condensation. if u ever look at a vehicle sitting at a stop light, u'll see droplets of water comming from its muffler when its cold out

stainless won't rust so I wouldn't worry about it. The heat from the exhaust will tend to evaporate any water that gets built up. Its mostly a cold start thing anyway.

Depends what grade stainless the system is. A 300 series stainless will not rust at all unless it is of inferior quality. The 400 series will rust and rust through if given enough time. Most OEM use a 400 series stainless exhaust and if you are in the rust belt you can be looking at a new system in less than 10 years depending on how you drive.
Some of the newer cars will hold a lot of water and literally flow out of tailpipe when they take off. I wouldn't worry about it.

Thats not true... I can't tell you that I've EVER seen an oem stainless exhaust. the vast majority (99.9%) of all oem exhaust are simply aluminized mild steel. Aluminized steel is cheap but does rust eventually.
