Default Different flow?

I just put on Screamin' Eagle pipes, air cleaner and re-map. My bike is an 05 Road King and it runs great. I noticed when it idles, more exhaust comes out of the right side of the bike (Air cleaner side)then the left. Is this normal? Thanks, John

RR, yes this is normal, the right side exhaust impulses pulls exhaust from the aft cylinder I.E. left hand side as it passes by crossover pipe. hence you get about half the exhaust from the left hand side.
