Default Only one exhaust working

My wife just bought a 2005 Road King today. She brought it home from the dealer, parked it in the garage then I took it for a ride. It ran great- lots of power, smooth as can be but something sounded weird. After some investigation, I found that exhaust was only coming out of the right pipe, not the left. The right pipes were HOT. The left...not so much. Wondering what could be going on....

Could it be a ghost exhaust on the left, so that it looks as if it has true duels?

Or someone blocked off the flow into the left pipe to try and mimic a 2-1?

At first I thought the same thing but I'm not sure. It has a muffler and is attached to the crossover. That's what's weird about it.

We found a Screamin Eagle EFI Race Tuner kit in the saddle bag. I'm not sure what that's used for exactly (I could guess) but does that have anything to do with it?

If it's supposed to be like that, that's cool. I was just hoping nothing was wrong.
