When I felt the flow from each, the flow from the driver's side was much stronger than the passenger side. I can barely feel anything out of the passenger side at idle.
I took the car up today and saw the straight pipe is positioned to connect to the left side of the muffler, which is closer to left exhaust tip.

I don't know why is that but if you take a look at your muffler you will see the flow from the engine is going to the left side of the muffler first.. thats why most steam is coming from the the driver side!
