Exhaust question

[DavidT]

On a cold morning, the drivers side has a lot of visible "fumes", and the passenger side muffler has very little.
ODDLY, after it is warmed up (highway driving), if I get on the gas, the passenger side has all the "fumes" and the driver side has very little.
This cannot be normal is it?
When I had my exhaust restriction removed (right before the bends at the gas tank), I wonder if the tech. neglected to see if there was more debris in my exhaust between the "gas tank section" and the mufflers???
It FEELS unrestricted, but the "fumes" on a cold day make me wonder...

I may be going out on a limb here but maybe it's a case of exhaust turbulance. Here's my stab at it: When under low pressure there is not much turbulance and creates a type of vacuum where most of the exhaust only comes out one side and vice versa when you put much exhaust throught the pipes. What exactly did they do to the exhaust? Have you done a hand check when idling to feel how much exhaust is coming from the right side?

Nope,it`s normal.Because the two muffler are inly a split,and not both seperate all the way down,that`s just the easiest side for the gasses to escape.I think my left one always gets more on cold days.

well, when I said "one has a lot, and the other has very little", the "very little" is actually little to none(visible). This does not seem normal. For instance, on a cold morning, while driving off and looking into the rear view mirror, it appears I don't even have dual exhaust (2 mufflers). Exhaust is only clearly visible from one side.
You both make a ot of sense, but I have never noticed this on any other dual setup (true OR not)

On those rare mornings that I can see the water vapors from my exhaust, the drivers side outputs only a slightly larger vapor cloud compared to the passenger side while idling. I think mine are pretty close to equal because my exhaust is pretty open.
