Default 'Anyone else notice that the passenger-side pipe on the 225's dual exhaust is significantly louder

. . . than the driver-side pipe?

Also, has anyone noticed that the ESP-equipped 225 Coupes have oval rearview mirrors, just as the roadsters do? Earlier coupes have the "standard" shape rearview mirror, I think.

Trivia.

It's not just ESP-equipped coupes ... It's the 2001 models.

Default makes sense that the right side exhaust exit would be louder...

the exhaust pipe going into muffler goes to the far right side then dumps into the muffler chamber while the only gasses escaping from the left tip are "path of least resistence" gases (overflow) in this muffler design. Additionally they have to pass through even more sound deadening material to get to the left exit.
