Something wrong w/ my exhaust??

Can someone tell if it's normal for only one of the exhaust tips to blow out exhaust? When it's cool outside I only see exhaust coming from one tip. I put my hand to the other tip but I feel nothing blowing. Is this a sign that it's time for a new muffler?

that is normal. only one valve is open til a certain rpm and both open up by a valve that is pushed to the side. stand behind it and have someone rev it up it, you should be able to feel it then. all 2k-2k3 oem mufflers have this.
