i have had soot in the bottom of the pipes of every car ive owned....even the 98 HP saturnMustGoFastR said:Can you post a pic of yours?
I think that's normal, as long as it isn't a lot. I always have a bit of "soot" on the bottom lip of my tips after my 30 mile round trip commute to work each day. I just wipe them down every other day or so long with my chromies. I had the same thing on my Honda. I think most modern engines are set slightly on the rich side for safety's sake.
This IS Kenny you're talkin' about, ya know. If it wasn't for CA traffic, I doubt that his FX would ever be at idle except when shifting to/from park.esemes said:im sure you 'blow it out' every so often,
I wouldn't worry about it. Pretty much every car will turn the inside of the exhaust black sooner or later.ShadyJC said:Is the soot something to worry about? I've seen it on almost every car I've had.
