You probably backed into something or someone hit your car in a parking lot.
1st: Check if it's loose or bent. Crawl under and check to see if the hanger rods on the muffler are pushed all the way into the hanger bushings. (The rubber mounts that attach to the underside of the car.) Push the rod back in if it was pushed out.
2nd: If the rods are all ok, check the 2 bolt flange between the midpipe and the muffler assembly. Loosen it up and try adjusting the exhaust. Can you get it back in position? If so, then tighten. Did it draw back out of position? If so, you flange is probably bent. A muffler shop can heat and beat it into place. Otherwise, it's a good time to consider aftermarket exhaust!
3rd, if that flange is straight, check the flanges going forward. If you bottomed out on the Y-pipe, it can pull on the exhaust. Nissan uses all flat flanges so there's not much adjustment in the system. (Versus ball flanges like what Toyota uses. You can get 5 degrees out of those systems before leaking.)

To answer your question, yes the stock exhaust was actually built like that. One side always pertrudes out further than the other. I do not know why that is, but it is...
