Exhaust Exhaust question

Russell 10 · 21st December 2007, 06:54

I was looking at the rear exhaust tail pipes on my 1.8SE. On the right hand side, where the pipe bends there is a "Bracket" welded to the pipe, but isn't attached to anything. I noticed moisture dropping through a hole in this bracket. Is this normal, or has my tailpipe got a small hole in it. The car has only done 6500 miles. I would appreciate your comments.

I don't know about the bracket, but it is not unusual to have a drain hole in an exhaust. Its there for the cold starts to drain out water condensing from the exhaust gases. Otherwise water would collect in the exhaust until the exhaust was hot enough to evaporate it.
