CLE53 right exhaust fake?
I saw a youtube clip (can't find it now unfortunately) in which only the left exhaust of a CLE 53 was showing smoke/steam. Is that normal? Is the right side exhaust just for show?!

Is it a cold start? Perhaps it might be because it is trying to quickly heat things up before opening it up?

I have noticed the same thing. Visible exhaust gases only seem to come out of the left side exhaust.

Did this a month ago: I let my CLE 53 Idle after driving for 43 miles and put both hands at the rear exhaust tips. I could only feel exhaust and heat from the left side and hardly any (comparing at same time) on the right side.
Not certain when idling vs.20-125 MPH would be any different.
I would like to put the car on the rack and follow exhaust path, restrictors, etc., me thinks it may reveal some information, maybe not.
Maybe AMG software Dynamic Select options may change all that, not sure.

It's just like many other cars where one side gets used more than the other and is completely normal. I've seen both instances on my car where only the left side exhaust is used and other times where both are used.
