Default Rusty Exhaust
My '03 Ultra Classic only has a little over 6,000 miles on it. The inside cone shaped area of the right stock muffler is rusty and the left side is perfectly clear of any rust. Does anyone know what may be causing this?

It's only a light surface rust but never the less it still different than the left side.

Water causes it mostly - does the right drip a lot?

I've never notice it dripping while it's idling.
