Its getting pretty cold so i see the steam coming out of the exhaust when i shut the car off. I am just curious why the steam only comes out of the drivers side pipe and not both.

could be various reasons. nothing to be concerned about if it's just steam.

Now if it's smoke then yo uhave a larger problem.

I have the same thing, pretty normal if you ask me. I wouldn't worry about it.

as long as when the car is running it comes out of both pipes....you should be ok. if steam only comes out of one pipe after the car is off it might just mean a slight breeze is blowing into one of the pipes and blocking the steam from coming out.

your muffler bearing could be bad on one side.
