Question Uneven Exhaust Sound ?

I know my exhaust tip is uneven, but is that why the exhaust sound is uneven too? The exhaust sound heard from driver seat is so much more noticeable while the passenger side is relatively quiet. Or is this a feature of the Motorsound package? o.O

This is not normal. You should check your connections at the cat and mufflers. You may have a leak on one side creating a louder sound.
As far as your tips go, this is very common. I see this on many 993s.

Tips are an easy fix - 13mm wrench and socket. When I replaced my tips I picked up stainless hardware at Lowes in the Specialty Fastener drawer. Get the 70mm length as the 60mm were too short for me. Stock is 65mm.

I think he is referring to the fact that one tip sticks out further than the other. Loosening the tip clamp will not allow them to move in and out.
