Default Only one Muffler smokes

Hi Everyone. I have a 98 xj8 with 100k km. the car was flooded and looking tips at this web site I was able to revive it. but now I found that only one of the mufflers is working, I haven't notice before if both were working ( sorry for my ignorance ) I change the spark plugs to revive it and nothing else.
I don't know if this is normal or I should do something before I damage the car.
any advise would be very appretiate

You won't hurt anything....take the car for a good 100klm run
and then check your fluids and coolant level.
Use a couple of bottles of fuel injection cleaner in your tank befor enext fill up.
There are a couple of brands of catylitc converter cleaners out there but don'y know in your area.
How many kays/miles has this car done?

Thank you so Much for your advice xjay8, my car has 100 thousand km, I am in Canada and I will follow your advice maybe this afternoon, weather finally is good here, and I will post what happens after that.
Again Thank you
