...muffler). Please help...? Just bought an used 2000 Suzuki Swift, 9400mi, runs excellent. Very happy. But when I look under the car, I found water dripping out between two exhaust pipes (between the 1st & 2nd pipe) after I start my car. (Engine temperature is normal).

I understand that water and CO are byproducts, but why between two pipes? Is that because of the gasket worn out inside? Or may be the two pipes were not connected well? (These pipes seem quite new).

If I ignore this water problem, will this bring me more trouble in the future? Or it's no big deal? I've uploaded 2 pictures for your info, please see below links:

Thanks for any advice!
More info: I paid $1700 for this car. It got new tires, MP3 player. I think it's a good deal :)
 
There's a gasket there. Replace before moisture causes serious rusting.
BTW, you don't have 2 exhaust pipes - you have a 2-segment exhaust.
2 exhaust pipes would mean 2 outlets side by side.
