Default It means you drive your car. Good for you!
(as opposed to people that leave theirs in the garage all the time)

Default Not much. If it's really bad, you could be running rich.
But the exhaust tips are always in contact with (gasp!) exhaust fumes, so it's totally normal for them to get a little soot on them

Dunno about you but I'd rather be a bit rich than the alternate.
