Why do we have dual tip exhausts, but....

only one of the tips are in actual use? The left tip seems to be just for lookswhile the ri:iono:ght tip is the only one expelling the exhaust.?

It does. The second tip is only used when the exhaust bypass is open, meaning engine under load near WOT.

both tips have an inlet into the muffler, so both tips produce exhaust

Can you say "Golf Tee Mod".......?
The second pipe opens with a rise in rpms.........unless you golf tee the vacuum line, in which case they are both open.
"Search" for details on the golf tee mod if you are not familiar with it.

This is my way of doing the "golf tee mod". It's not for most people though. My way is IMO the proper way to do it, but it also takes about 10x's as long to do it than the questionable method.
