excessive carbon on exhaust tips now...running rich?
should i be concerned? i just got revo'd about 2 months ago, added a 225 neuspeed exhaust to my 180. i always run premium octane, and no, i haven't done anything to the intake yet. i'm deciding between a p-flo or just the drop in(which is what the guy at revo sugessted more so than an aftermarket intake). at any rate, i notice at every car wash interval that i have black soot at the 6 o'clock position of my tails...

to me, any smudge is more than it was before.
i never noted any carbon on the outside of my stock tips before. just wondered before i get too creative in the mod department...

Are you running at higher RPMs lately?
The mappings are set up to run the car rich at high RPMs. If I go out and flog the car I'll have more buildup then if I'm driving Miss Daisy.
