Carbon, a by product of exhaust. Perfectly normal. You exhaust tips will turn black also, this is the same thing except mixed with condensation.

24k miles driven in every kind of weather and no wet spot here. i have to agree with the last sentence above cuz ive got a heavy foot, it burns off the condensation

No I've got a river raft that I put on top of my car.......I had a buddy in California back in the seventies that actually did put a raft on top of his 1967 Camaro SS when we went rafting. And another in a 1967 Pontiac GTO. All kidding aside that was just for show to add a little humor to this thread.......

Yep, Perfectly normal. The weep holes are there to drain the moisture out to prevent your mufflers rusting out prematurely.
