Hey Guys,
I have just installed dual exhaust with 18" SST tips.
The tips are 304 SST, 18" long, ROLLED and tapered ends. THey DO NOT have moisture drain holes at the end. Should I drill a hole for drainage in the bottom? It appears that the moisture is dripping over the rolled edge and is leaving a mark.
Should I drill a drain hole? Please chime in.
Thanks

No I wouldn't drill any holes .Even with a drain hole IMO it would still leave a mark. As you acelerate the moisture will be disapated.

A drain hole won't hurt, but won't help much at the end of the tip. Take a "tip" from the OEM Megs tips, who gave the Marauder tip a drain hole. Drill it forward, where the tip connects with the tailpipe. This will allow water to drain before it collects at the rolled edge.
