Default Exhaust

I havent been driving my car a ton since it has been pretty cold and raining a lot here lately so this morning I decided to start my car and let it warm up. When I did this I noticed the exhaust coming out more (since it is cold outside) of the left exhaust pipe than the right one when I first cranked it. As the car warmed up it got better and by the time it was at normal operating temperature it seemed about the same. Is this normal when first cranked or is there something I should be checking? It idles and runs fine.

Thanks.

I'm going to guess that this is a V8. You will have a "heat-riser" on the pass side exhaust that sends the gas over the intake and out the drivers side during warm up to heat the intake..so, this is normal.....and good that it still works.
