This might be a dumb girl question, but here it goes:

I've noticed that I have black soot in my GReddy SE tailpipes. I never noticed it before on my OEM exhaust probably because the tailpipes were smaller. When I do my weekly car detail, this black crap usual wipes off easily but is really annoying. Is it normal for our IS's to run richly?

BTW-I only use Chevron 91 octane

Thanks,
Erin

 

Yes it is normal, you should see my exhaust!

 

you girls pay too much attention to useless chit

 

yeah it's normal
so I normally wipe down at the end of the day
and polish it maybe every week to keep it nice and shiny

 

Yes, I'm a very detailed oriented person that loves to keep my car very clean.

 

I know there's suppose to be some residue in the exhaust, but I've never seen it this black/dark. That's why I started to worry. But since I'm not the only one with this issue, I'm not too worried now. Thanks!

 

Yeah I get this on my tanabe a lot, I need to get a strong metal polish, cuz I didnt wash it for a month over the winter and now I cant get some of those things off with my normal metal polish

 

i can't even see it with my black onyx but i have the hi-power :P

 

yea it gets annoying after washing my car and a day or two later the black residue is on my back bumper LOL ah!

i quote

"You gotta pay to play"

 

Wait - are we talking about wiping down the inside of the exhaust tip? That seems like a losing battle.

 

haha

 

hahaha

 

yeah LMAO
I wax the outer portion of my tip once a week or more often
and try to wipe down the inside of the exhaust tip at the end of the day
this way, they are always clean and shiny

well, you all can do this faster than me since you all only have TWO TIPs to clean

 

lol u guys r funny. seoul n his loosing battle. when ever u get tired of having to clean 4 tips im willing to trade u for my two any day lol

 

LMAO~let me know when you get tired of your sexy RIMS
