Soot in Tailpipe

[Matthew1785]

Is it normal? its been bothering me a little. im assuming because we run so rich im going to see black soot inside the tail pipe just thought i would get another opinion

Yea, its normal bro.....just as long as u dont start seeing oil back there

...you should see the carbon build up on mine. It leaks to the outside of the muffler.

I've found some Nano-polish and 5 minutes will take it off and leave you with an exhaust tip that doesn't look like it's 3 years old.

ya i stuck my finger in the tail pipe "no nasty comments" it was wet, prolly from water escaping the tail pipe and there was black soot covering the inside of the tailpipe

why do these car runs so damn rich too

I never noticed it before with my stock muffler but now that I got a big ass tip on my axleback ive noticed it gets pretty dirty in there, but I think its also because of my header. Not ever to the point that it bothers me or that it really needs to be cleaned.

I get that too. Totally stock.

I know. I need to clean my whole car. but it seems like it rains every other day. and now I have my intercooler on, with no pipes, i have to cap off the ends before I wash it, when I do. at least til I get the turbo on.

Duct Tape works wonders for the end caps. and lucky you for rain, i'd give anything to wash the salt bath on my car if it werent so freaking cold out right now -4 degrees

now that is just ghetto. I think ill put a short piece of pipe on each side and use duct tape, where no one can see it. lol.

I dunno, I never cared about my stock exhaust, but with my new exhaust all I do is take some mothers mag/aluminum polish and a rag to it every few months and its fine, never gets bad though to begin with

its just duct-taped for now till the turbo goes on this coming weekend no one can even see the duct tape

balanced intercoolers ftw
