Hot gas out of one exhaust and cold gas out of the other?
Discussion
I was warming the Cerb up before leaving work tonight and noticed that I was only getting steam from one exhaust (hot gas and cold air, before anyone points out that you don't get steam out of the exhaust!).
At that point, one exhaust was pushing out hot gas and one cold.
About 3/4 mins later, this was still the same.... A couple of minutes later, they were both hot.
Anyone know why? I'd expect them to be roughly the same temperature.

Does your exhaust have a big back box, where the two pipes are connected or do you have separate "sports" pipes for each bank of the V??
By the way is it water condensation that you can see, commonly called steam.
We need more of an expert on the engine management system, as it may be possible only one bank of the vee has cold start enrichment, which could be standard??
I had to have a throttle pot changed recently as it was running very rich on the left bank and failed the MOT! So that could be a possibility, as before it was replaced, the left bank always produced steam but the right one did not. I have separate sports exhaust not linked.
Hope this is of some help?

Mine was doing this the other day directly after start up.
