Are you running a Power-Dual headpipe? If you are, they all do that. The exhaust gases are just taking the path of least resistance to expulsion. Mine do that and all my buddies that have the Power Dual headpipe do it as well.

Default Exhaust heat

Might still be a valid answer. The crossover pipe comes off at about an 85 deg. angle so the hot gasses are still tending to go to the right pipe.
