I have never gotten down to look at the depth of the exhaust . Even though this type of OCD is almost like becoming a Porsche proctologist you have me curious enough to look . My wife has the car now so it will have to wait .
Why is one tail pipe so shiny and clean inside
My drivers side - inside exhaust pipe is still looking much newer than the other three exhaust pipes. Is this normal?
I have about 2300 miles on the clock.

Thanks for the chuckle Larry. While I am fairly OCD, Ive never identified as having any “proctological” tendencies 🤣
I noticed the one clean pipe just walking up to the rear of the car. I did take a knee to take a clear picture so I could ask for some technical advice.
It’s not the pipe with the flapper/restrictor. You can see that in the picture below.
I've read that a black exhaust is a sign of a problem with the fuel injectors.
While there may be nothing wrong with your car, since there is a difference between your exhaust pipes, you may want to take it in for the dealer to check your fuel injectors.
I also saw a MF post, in 2017, mentioning a recall for Porsche Macan fuel injectors. IDK if this is correct.

New Recall Fuel Injectors??
So my daughter who works at in Exotic Cars at Enterprise called me yesterday that they were notified of a new recall on 2015 to the current model Macan for a fuel injector issue (DK the engines, but the GTS was involved.) Has anyone heard about this new recall?

Only a truly anal person would worry about the color variation in the exhaust pipes on a new Macan. My suggestion: Drive the darn car and enjoy it.
Wow, when in normal mode, the exhaust uses the 2 inside outlets, but the driver side has some sort of restrictor, maybe something new to the gen 3 to aid fuel economy in normal mode?
I would say I notice my exhausts are much "sootier" on my turboed cars, likely due to running slightly richer air/fuel mixtures to provide a margin of safety to the boosted engines. My 718 GTS 4.0 (non turbo flat 6) has almost zero soot.
As others have mentioned I do look at my exhausts to both check for any potential issues and of course to clean them

It's perfectly normal on my 95B.1 That flap is closed unless you are in sport or the RPMs go over 4K (I think it could be 3500 or 4500). After the first couple of years (mine turned 9 last week) they all evened out at some point
