im pretty sure thats because most of the moisture hangs a right at the cut out there and thats the most visible exhaust coming out but put your hand down and you can tell most of it is coming out on the passenger side.
this weekend i was cleaning up my car and when i got to the cleaning/polishing of the tips i just unbolted and took off the passenger side tip to make it easy(felt liek swaping in the stealth plate too) but first i figured i would take it for a spin wide open like that, it was louder, revved a little easier but i could feel a big loss of low end torque although at one point when i droped into 3rd it pulled so hard my buddy thought i was in 2nd till he noticed how fast i was going and wher the stick was and hes a former M6 4th gen owner too.
and those cobra r wheels do look pretty good man
