Default F-sport exhaust Question

I recently installed the f-sport exhaust last week. Been driving around and havent really noticed anything until my friend pointed it out when I was showing him the exhaust. He noticed the right side(passenger side) was more dirty. And when I revved it, more air was coming out of that side of the exhaust than the left (driver's side). Is this normal?

Normal. There's an explanation why, but I couldn't give it to you.

One side is hollow. Go knock on the cans and you'll hear which one.

It is really odd that they did manufacturer the cans that way...but I'm sure there was a reason.

The left side is actually the muffler, the right side is a fake muffler with a straight pipe going through a can. By design, more exhaust flows through the unrestricted side therefore, more air & more dirt.

i believe the right side is not a "true" exhaust.
