This is not mine, but you get the idea right. :D

The pipes are pointing a bit up, does anyone else having problems that water
is in the pipes after raining, or when you get out of the car wash???

I don't think it'll do any harm to your car. It shouldn't effect it cause i think it'll just evaporate.

well, the little bit of water that would get in there shouldnt take too long to evaporate on a car that is driven. remember, exhaust gases are hot! My car was in a flood where my entire exhaust was under water by a foot, I had no problems except my resonator rusted out a year later (which isn't just because I was in a flood obviously). Once we replaced the ecu (which was underwater too), and flushed out some shit (mulch, etc), the car ran fine (although my muffler is louder now - probably compressed some of the muffler's insides and reduced it's effectiveness to muffle).

You'll be ok, I think it would take a lot of water to cause problems. And if you're afraid water will come in in a haevy storm just push the pedal and blow it out! :D

nice pic btw :)

Yes I do have a dual pipe just like in the pic. :D

There is no harm of water getting in there.
If your worried about rust just start up your car a rev it up..The water will shoot right out.
