uneven standard smoke?

[coldsho]

i got dyonmax catback n p+ cats n Y-pipe n when i drive i get more smoke outa
the right pipe than the left. just normal exhaust smoke, like when its cold. why would it be diff
for the two pipes coming from the same place? anyone else have this? no probs with car just wondering?

The cat-back splits into 2 pipes at the back axle. Depending on how the joint is welded at the split and the direction the exhaust gasses are traveling when they hit the split, it would be perfectly normal for one pipe to have more flow than the other.

Exhaust gas obeys the laws of physics and takes the path of least resistance. Your right pipe just has slightly less resistance so that's the direction most of the exhaust goes.

how strange... I noticed mine the other day, while it was in idle.
I get more flow out of the "driver side" pipe...
I just assumed it was "so" because that muffler is much closer to the "y".
