Default exhaust problem?? PLEASE HELP!

Hey guys im a greenhorn to this site, ive owned my 91 lexus for about 6 months now its got low miles but the suspension was a little suspect so i got a good deal..i replaced all the struts and 2 control arms in the rear as well as my sway bar links some bushings etc the suspension is dreamy now but recently when i started the car i noticed a gurgling almost rumbling noise coming from the rear of my car , after the car runs for a little while the noise goes away, ive taken it to 3 mechanics and NONE of them had any idea what was causing it..any suggestions?

When I did my muffler delete there was a fair amount of water in my mufflers and I have done plenty of long trips to burn it out. With low miles and maybe short trips you could have water in your mufflers. I don't know that it would be enough or even audible but I can't think of anything else.
