I have noticed my exhaust sounding different from the right to left side. Truck is true dualed, so the pass side sounds funny...popping and whatnot. Drivers side sounds great. Does it cold, and also after its been driven, no change. So I do the ole paper test to the tailpipe, and sure enough it sucks the paper to it every so often. I am assuming a burnt or sticking valve. I havent compression checked it or pulled the valve cover yet.

Check the plugs first. if you can get a hight temp IR heat gun, you can see if you have any cool cylinders. may be just a bad plug wire.
