i guess i dont know the mechanical explanation for this, but i've owned nurmerous v6 and v8 powered cars and trucks with duels, and the all have done that in one way shape or form. have a buddy rev the car both side will be even. if not then may have an issue. but you would know if your car was miss firing or only rinning on 7 cyliders.

most likely just condensation evaporating off, no need to worry, it's not uncommon
