Default more exhaust on one side???

ok, now that its cold in GA,i can see my exhaust gases coming out(well the heat anyway). There is about twice as much coming out on the drivers side than the passenger side. I can't figure out why, I don't hear any exhaust leaks and i've tightened the bolts anyway. Could my O2 sensors be bad???

Mine does that, but it has an exhaust leak. I thought on Fox's the passenger side was known for leaks?

Mine does the same thing, no leaks here. I am running stock headers and stock h-pipe with the 4 choking cats. With welded in Dynomax Bullet mufflers. More exhaust comes out of the drivers side.

I have more exhaust coming out 1 side than the other. No cats and pretty sure there's no leaks.

One of many problems it could be::
Are you using the hanger located at the tranny mount....???
If not then ur exhaust could sag down and cause slight leakage....

You also have to heat up and bend the hangers on the h-pipe (aftermarket) for it to fit in the hanger....exhaust shop is the best route.

Any smoke issues or gassy smells? Did you over rev at one point before you saw this?

No bad effects. My wife noticed it the other day, then i noticed it while getting the mail one day. I just found it odd and wondered what the reasons could be.
