Default Left side exhaust blows weaker than right side

Hey u guys..got a question I think I know the answer to but just to be sure I thought j would throw this at ya...Ever since I got my trike new in 2017 I noticed that the right side or straight pipe blew alot stronger exhaust than the left...I believe it's because the left has to cross over after the cat converter and then turn again to run to the end...But now that I have changed out the pipes to Vance and Hines slipons the difference is drastic...maybe 20% less than the right or straight side...Is this the norm? Like I said it was weak on that side when it had 3 miles on it so I'm thinking it must be the length of the pipes and the turns etc of the pipe from the rear head...Thanks for any feedback...donny

Normal. Right side is straight through. Left side has to turn a 90 degree corner and exhaust is only forced that way by back pressure beyond that bend. Mucho normal.
