Found this thread where one guy said there was already a hole for drainage purposes, but Dave is never wrong so…
Exhaust drainage holes??
It may seem a crazy question at first, but has anyone drilled a small hole at the lowest point of their exhaust pipe / muffler to allow condensation to be removed? Having come from a bigwheel bike with a stainless system to the Burgman with its painted mild steel, I’m all too nervous of the...

I suppose I’d have to take the muffler off before taking it to a muffler shop, eh? I kinda want to just not worry about this issue til spring bc i want to consider it “done” for now…would it be bad to go many miles on the muffler as-is?

Hello,
Cut a piece from a beer can, get big headed self tapping screws and screw it over hole.
Double it up, will last for a long, long time. Will do no harm.

Yeah, those patches didn't need to look pretty. No need to worry about pressurizing the aircraft at altitude, or filthy exhaust trails around the rivet heads or proper rivet spacing and layout.
Those HU-1 were work horses, just get her done & get her airborne.

Didn’t get to this repair yet but realized I never looked at the hole itself…just went out and it’s perfectly round, no dents etc. surrounding it…does the fact that it’s perfectly round possibly change the outcome (it must be patched)? Any chance someone did this on purpose??

I've seen holes with "discoloration pattern" around it like that before, there also appears to be a small "lip" around the hole, but back to the question, it still needs to be fixed, and you should probably set a few nickles aside to replace it, We can see the damage on the outside, but what kind of damage is inside that we can't see

Or its a weep hole to let water drip out. Being 'Dimppled' out makes sense.
The exhaust pipes on my Dodge Little Red Express truck, my avatar to the left, has 1/8 inch drain holes dimppled at the bottom of the stainless steel "STACKS" to allow any rain to drip out.

it's possible , if other mufflers have similar, but I would think a weep hole would be a a low point, then again, it may acdtually be a low point on the inside
