Default Exhaust question on a Bagger

All, I have a question about Exhaust pressure on a 2006 Classic. I just recently installed a set of V&H slip ons and also added the V&HFuelPak to go along with it. It really smoothed out the Idle, but I noticed that the right side exhaust puts out much more air pressure than the left. Is this normal? I did notice that when I removed the stock mufflers, that the right side has much more sout built up in it than the left.
Just wondering

If you look at the head pipe shapemost of the exhaustexits out the right, it's normal. Only way to fix this is true duels. Left is mostly for looks, I cut my left side off.

Most of the exhaust is comming out of the right side due to to H pipe from the rear cylinder. I have the Python slip-ons with V&H Fuelpak. After reading some posts I purchchased a Fullsac true dual conversion. The kit eliminates the H pipe and allows for each cylinder to its own dedicated exhaust. You will actually hear your pipes in Stereo instead of 70-80% of the sound comming from the right side.

The only thing I will say is that while the fullsac kit is a great, inexpensive way to get true duals you will still have to fiddle with thestock heat shields and still won't have full coverage with them. Other than that I can't and won't say anything bad about the price or quality.

I have seen some of the true dual pipes drop to where I almost wish I would have just spent some extra coin and gotten the full true dual systemthat comes with full heat shield.

I have seen people replace the heatshields with no gaps and they look perfect. I am to lazy to look for it right now

Thanks for the info Boys. I just wanted to make sure that I didn't have anything stuck in the new pipes from the packaging when I put them on yesterday. I guess the smart thing would have been to look down the pipe to make sure, right? But I have to admit that the Fuelpak is a nice addition as well. The dealership installed a Stage 1 on it while it was a rental. I bought the bike during the cold spell up here in Northern Illinois and didn't actually have a chance to take her on a rode test. So I noticed that this bike had a very rough idle. Shook you pretty good sitting at a light, but once you put yourself into the throttle you were good to go. But once I mounted the Fuelpak and got it programmed up, I noticed the rpm increased about a hundred and a half and it was much smoother. Not the big shake as before. I'm hoping the sound will change a little bit once they get broke in.
