After Market Exhuasts: anyone else notice the gurgling sound?

I have MagnaFlows on my 300c SRT-8 and I've been meaning to ask if anyone else with after market exhaust has what sounds like water in their exhaust on start up? I can hear a gurgling sound everytime I start the car up. Sounds concerning since I am worried about rusting from the inside out. Anyone?

Is the sound coming from where the Magnaflow connects just after the cat-cons?

I have a sound there that is from the condensation escaping from the pipes where
they connect at this location. I think I have to tighten up the clamps more to get
rid of it.

It is stainless steel and if you have any condesation you should not worry about rust-through ... you do have a lifetime warranty.

The gurgle is usually a fucntion of the cars initial cold start program ... high idle .. usually rich run condition ... nothing to worry about.

The only gurgling I get is when it kicks into the 4-cyl mode... and I hate that sound so I downshift most times.

I wonder why my gas mileage isn't what it's supposed to be...
