The glasspacks held the water in the packing, it was still there. Then it cooked out after the muffler warmed up.That's why cheap glasspacks usually rust out pdq.
Your 44s IIRC are empty boxes, so there is nothing in them to prevent the incoming exhaust to blow across the water pooled inside them, and carry it the short distance to your dumps, as still a liquid.
I drilled 1/8th" drain-holes at the lowest points of the mufflers, and also at the lowest points of my over-the-axle tailpipes, just for this reason. I'd rather have a bit of water on the floor, than blowing onto whatever is behind .
My exhaust system is coming 19 years old and has no visible rust on it.Good thing! because that TTI stuff was not cheap; it's down to under $29 per year now.
