Passenger side exhaust is blacker than the drivers side?

I have the GTA's. I was adjusting tthem the other day and noticed that the exhaust soot is much heavier on the passenger side thatn the drivers side.

Is this normal? Are the passenger side cylinders burning richer than the drivers side?

Am I being overly paranoid?

Thanks

The GT's have a factory H pipe so I would think most of the exhaust would equalize through both exhausts. I wouldn't worry about it unless your car is throwing codes.

To clean the tips up, I use Noxon metal polish. Does a really nice job and the stuff's been around forever. My dad even used it on his cars in his 20's. - put a good layer on, let haze, buff off with a towel. I use a MF.

Don't let the soot sit too long. My 1st set of stingers got permanent reddish hazing after trying everything in the world..I was a day late and a dollar short though
