Main causes of exhaust holes are created to acidic chemicals generated by the working diesel or gas engine on combustion of the air/fuel mixture such as sulphur dioxide &carbon monoxide, and water vapour. The latter condenses from steam back into water along the length of the exhaust tube.The acidic properties with water'eat' or oxidise on the steel exhaust eventually leading to pin hole rusting. One answer is to use stainless steel instead of ordinary steel which givesa longer life expectancy, although more expensive.

Can you use silicon to fix holes in your exhaust?
absolutely not, normal silicon melts at much too low of a temperature to put on exhaust. They make a special paste that comes in a tube that you put on exhaust holes and it hardens under the high temperatures. I have used it on my truck and it works really well.
Does water dripping from tailpipe mean the catalytic converter is faulty?
No, water coming from the exhaust is normal in small amounts. The temp differences causes condensation. When the car sits, the exhaust is cold or ambiant temp. When the vehicle starts, the exhaust system warms up, causing condensation. There are actually weep holes in most mufflers to let the water out to prevent rust.
Where does the exhaust system connect on an engine?
