182 Exhaust Tailpipe gas



  Clio 182
Hi all,
I've searched high and low for an answer with no luck, my 182 is producing a lot of steam/vapour which is nothing out of the ordinary with lots of short runs and the cold weather, I've got an OEM exhaust system with an aftermarket cat,

Out of curiosity I got out the car with it running after around a 15 minute journey and noticed the vapour was only coming out of the left tailpipe, the gas coming from it was hot but gas coming from the right hand tailpipe was cold.

What could this indicate?
Is it anything to be concerned about?

Appreciate your help!

Put your hand over the other tailpipe, does anything at all come out of it??

Should be able to feel some gas passing past your hand when you put it over.

Hi, when I put my hand to it there is air coming out but it's cold air, whereas the other tailpipe is chucking out hot air and steam.

Could this just be more water condensing in one silencer than the other?
