Default exaust only coming out of left side

I started my bike this morning and since it was cold, turned up the choke. Now like I said before, I'm fairly new to the game and am not quite familiar with the termenologh but it was spitting white smoke out of the left exaust pipe and not the right. I put my hand over the right and it was going but it wasn't the same as the left. Any clues?

are you saying that the mid pipe does not evenly distribute the exhaust. Is that the mid that cme with the pipe or the stock one.

Is the stock pipe the same as the one from 2 bros?

From the picture it is obvious that there is much more restriction on the left side due to the length and a 90.

It seams like the one on the rt should have a smaller diameter than the lft and that would force more to the rt side. It would also create more restriction and back pressure.

Wonder what the techs at 2 bros would say?

In the picture below and obviously different designs but see the Y pipe. It allows for a more even distribution of the exhaust. That is what you need.

as for the stock it comes out of the collector the same as 2bros but ends up like the pic u put up cause its similar to the can in your pic.

Not to put down 2 bros but sounds like a design thing, but i am sure there are far more experienced people designing this system than me.

I am curious to know what they tell you when you call and ask them why dose more exhaust come out one side than the other.

Sounded like a normal IRS comment.

I am not an expert but if you can more evenly divide the 2 the more easily the exhaust can escape. Is this is better or not only testing would prove it.
