Default Water inside stock AP2 mufflers

Hi, I just bought a 2003 Suzuka Blue AP1. The car came with a Megan catback exhaust. The previous owner also gave me a stock AP2 exhaust from the cat to the muffler (all as one piece). He left it outside by his shed uncovered and standing up. So it was rained on numerous times.

When I took it from him, a bunch of water poured out the muffler. I shook it all around, but I can still hear a good amount of water swishing around inside (I'd say at least 2 cups of water). Any suggestions on getting the water out without having to complete cut open the pipes?

Put it on the car, drive it for a week. should evaporate all the water. Only thing I would worry about is rusting from the inside out.

Put it on and run it. Even if it had a gallon of water in it, it wont go uphill through the header into the engine.

Exhaust pressure and heat will dry it in 20 minutes. no worries.
