As far as i know, its nothing to worry about, in fact, ive been told thats its an indication that the car has been well maintained, though dont take my word for it, i aint 100% certain

exhausts get water sitting in them when they are just used for short stop/start journeys, it is not a sign of a car being well maintained, it is a bad thing as the water sits inside your exhaust and rots it away

sometimes if you have a big bore exhaust you can get hobos crawling in during the night for the warmth. This is more common in the winter. They smoke, drink beer and urinate inside the big tailpipe and when you turn it on, all their mess sprays out.

The only way round it is to cover up the tailpipe with chickenwire
