RE: Bagger Exhaust Question
Perfectly normal. If you look closely at the desgin of the pipe as it exits the rear head, you'll notice that the "path of least resisance" is straight out to the right side pipe - not out and making a 90 degree turn into the left side pipe. It's really more for looks than anything else. For that reason (not to mention performance gains), I prefer 2 into 1 systems ~ even on my bagger(s)....

RE: Bagger Exhaust Question
The HD stock pipes run about 80% of the exhaust through the right side. Cosequently the right side is a lot warmer. You can go to true duals or add heat deflectors. There are a few of these available. lots of folks in my area are using the Kutykyn lexan deflectors in smoke or clear. No worries the right side heat is normal.

RE: Bagger Exhaust Question
Remove the LH slip-on and you will see the real reason. On the LH pipe right at the end where the slipon fits up there is a baffle in the header pipe. This is the main restriction device, rather than the crossover.
Makes it almost like having a 2 into 1 system. If I ever decide to change back from stockers I will go with a thunderheader.
But I like stock! With one baffle removed, of course.
