Question drilling muffler to reduce condensation

Hello again. I've been using the question box on a regular basis. Great resource. I'm making headway thanks to forum users. You guys have given me more feedback than any local car enthusiasts (I think they avoid getting involved). Very thankful to you all.
Something that I've been unable to find on this forum is getting the condensation out of the muffler after shut down. My muffler is tilted downward toward the front of the truck. So, I get condensation that splatters out pipe on start-ups. NO condensation evident after truck is driven.
So, I've been reading up on drilling a 1/8 inch hole at low point on muffler. Many non-forum people say that was SOP on many vehicles. Others say it may make noise; others say it doesn't make noise as there is not enough pressure at the low/front part of muffler. Some say exhaust smell (that I would surely steer away from).
Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.
