Any water that comes in contact will evaporate almost instantly - and if the car is sitting around - unless it's parked over bare ground, a giant puddle, or something else that has a lot of moisture in it for long periods of time, theres nowhere for the moisture to come from.
Never had a muffler rust out :?:
There's PLENTY of water in an exhaust system. Just watch your tail pipe on a cold day. If you drive short distances and shut off the car you exhaust will rust from the inside out very quickly. You are not giving the engine time enough to heat up and burn out the water. Plus in the cold as the pipe cools down condenstation forms in and around the pipe (expecially around the clamp) trapping it in there.
Now w/ the new Superdutys' this isn't a problem, as on occassion they have the EEC programmed to spit out 1500* (yes, Fifteen Hundred Degree) exhaust gasses
