There shouldn't be any holes in the bottom of your pipes. Pictures?

I agree, you shouldn't have any holes in the bottom of your exhaust and a photo would be ideal to see what they are. You might be right on the money with the water drainage thing, but holes in the exhaust = less back pressure = less power.

You can either upload them to your album, or upload them to a place like tinypic or photbucket and then link them.
