I've never noticed this before but I saw something resembling water slow dripping from a neat round hole in the exhaust system after i shut off the engine. Is this normal behavior or did someone intentionally make this hole?
JLU Sahara with the 2.0 in case that is relevant.

It's doing what it's designed to do. Let moisture out & it's intentional.
Ok, thanks for that info! Relieved that there were no nefarious people on the loose in my neighborhood! On a related note, how can I learn more about these particular nuggets of information?

Install a Borla Climber Touring exhaust and it eliminates that part. ;)

i purposefully put a hole in the tips of my borla exhaust as that area is enlarged and collects water resulting in a fine amount of rust despite the black painted surface. hasn’t happened since.
