Tail Pipes

One of my friends was looking at my car today and he said "did you know that one of your tail pipes are longer than the other?" I thought wtf! I went and looked and sure enough it was. The drivers side tailpipe is several inches longer than the passengers side. Whats up with that? Washed this car a hundred times and never noticed. Have no clue on how I missed that. I will take a closer look tomorrow and see if I can tell whats going on. Anyone else notice this?

Maybe that's Mazda's idea of a sport-tuned exhaust? :p

Mine's the same way - driver's side is a couple inches longer. I wonder why? Is is because the driver tends to emit extra exhaust on occasion? :D
