I just drilled my weep holes about 20 minutes ago, alot of water came out, a cup and a half each pipe glad i did it . The barrel design of the roush exhaust lends itself to water collection even more then the stock muffler it seems....

Is it just me though, or do the welds look different on the replacements. Seems like they realized what was going wrong and they improvised their welds. Seem a lot thicker too.
When I get mine I will look also at the difference in the the two....

Drilled the holes in my Roushs, lots of water drained out. I have no rust at all so I think I will be in great shape. Will post pics later

You don't have resonators so it's not the same. All I'm thinking about doing is replacing the H with an X.

lol, I'm just giving you a hard time dude. The thought of going out and laying on the cold garage floor doesn't sound enticing to me either.
