A perfect running car produces power by changing fuel into water and CO2. The engine is warm enough that the water is normally vapor. Cold engines on a cold day may spit some water. Condensation in the muffler also causes this issue to an extent.

How bad is water in your muffler?

just if your worried buy a new muffler. but i would say not to bad. it will dry up. It really depends how much water you are talking about. Was water placed into the muffler say during a car wash? Or could it be coolant from a blown head gasket? Most modern mufflers actually create water through a chemical reaction. So if you are seeing a little drip out of the drain hole you are probably ok.
