Installed the muffler via the pdf and even rented the autozone muffler cutter... but it looks like its leaking where the clamp is. Water is coming out

Is this normal i tightened as much as possible

Usually start-up condensation..disappears once the engine warms up. I'd take it to a muffler shop and have them put a weld around it and call it a day if you like the way it sounds...........
