Default 2000 Marauder question.

My 2000 Marauder has about 8500 miles on it and it has cobra slip on drags...i don't know if that matters but oh well. Here's the problem: when the bike is running I put my hands behind the pipes to feel the exhuast pressure. The top pipe (back cylinder) has more pressure than the bottom pipe (front cylinder). Also if i hold the throttle open a little bit, the bottom pipe runs a little rough.

I'm going to change the spark plugs (as far as i know they are original) and see if that helps, but do i have a bigger problem?

Oh yeah, sorry for the story
