I noticed this while on remote start that there is a thin stream of exhaust coming out the muffler away from the exhaust holes. Possibly moisture drain holes??

Parking lot was too full of wet slush and snow for me to get down on the ground.

Anyone else notice this on theirs? Don't recall anyone posting this before. It does happen on both sides so assume this is normal and just see it because of a cold start.

I park in the garage and after a remote start I've noticed what looks like wet/condensation spots on the floor right about where yours shows the exhaust stream.

I've noticed that on mine also when I remote start it. Guessing it's drain holes near the front of the mufflers. Seen it on vehicles I owned before to.
 






That’s to help condensation from getting trapped in the pipes. No worries.
 






Definitely looks like drain holes. Exhaust builds up condensation and you don't want that sitting in the exhaust as that could lead to rust, from the inside out, rotting the exhaust out prematurely.
