For some reason…it just hit it me and im just wondering why Japanese cars have their exhaust on the left side. Is it because they drive on the right side so the exhaust is supposed to be on the opposite side? Even so, why should it be on the opposite side. I guess im just bored but anyone wonder or know the answer to this? lol

exhaust exits on the left side of the motor so why wouldnt they? i assume on a car that has exhaust exiting on the right side they would do the same.
