Hey,

I'm still trying to workout a backfire on the exhaust pipes so I performed an exhaust leak test to find any possible cracks and/or holes with smoke. I did find a hole on the bottom of the exhaust pipe, right in the middle. It looks like it was supposed to be there though. Maybe it's just a nice rust hole lol. But the point is, I don't know. Does anybody know if the hole on the bottom of the exhaust is supposed to be there? About the size of an eraser top.
 
The stock headpipes are double walled to keep the chrome from discoloring. Those holes are for condensation to escape and not rust the pipes.

So, yes, they are normal.
