Default Rusty Tail Pipes

My bike has had Rhinehart slip on mufflers since day one. I keep noticing that my right pipe has rust at visible start of the baffle. Why...? Why don't both pipes look alike?

It's usually condensation...it's normal...it will go away after a few rides. My RC's showed some rust at both rear tail pipes last fall shortly after they were installed on my RGS. I cleared mine up with a light WD40 spray in each pipe and let sit overnight in the garage. A few rides later it never reappeared.

Right pipe does most of the "work" as well, so they get slightly different heat cycles.
