So I have a 2007 RX8, 6sp.

I noticed that out of my passenger side exhaust I only get a faint feel of exhaust, where as my driver side seems to get all of the exhaust. I checked the exhaust system and there were no leaks. I did notice a small amount of white smoke come out once I restarted the car.

Thinking it might be the cat converter.

Thanks for the help/advice.

Rotary engines release a lot of carbon, so a block/ clog is not terribly unlikely. White smoke as long as its not puffy and fades into the air rather quickly is usually just moisture evaporating. Most cars release white smoke especially on a cold start or cold day. If the white smoke lingers then you likely have a bigger problem than just the feeling of the exhaust. The problem you have is likely not a big deal so do not worry too much unless it is causing subsequent problems.

If the cat is destroyed/ clogged, it will lead to a big problem...

Appreciate it. It wasn't a cold day and it was a small amount of white smoke. The car had been sitting for about 3 hours while is was replacing the rotors and pads. I am guessing there might be a blockage.
