It may be perfectly fine now, but depending on usage you may be replacing the canister or rear muffler sooner than you wanted.
The first mufflers on the market 15-20 years ago often were all mild steel w/ coating, and the resonators would have to be replaced often since any defects in internal welding would cause them to leak and rust through prematurely. Modern exhausts are stainless steel and less prone to rust, but it still happens as the methods of manufacturing are still the same.

Better picture of where? That area is where water i saw. Other areas of muffler is fine. Thanks for explanation. I drive my car 1-2 times per week and i didnt check often. This was i noticed first time.. I will keep checking if it doesnt happen again then it is moisture got up there.
