Thanks everyone for your responses!
I guess it's okay I'm running rich, I will keep an eye on my OFT but I'm not too worried about it.

UEL headers = black soot on exhaust tips?

Hey everyone,

I installed OFH and OFT Stg2 93 tune on my FR-S a while ago, and now I'm noticing black soot on my exhaust tips.
Being catless, it would make sense to me that this happens because...

I can't speak for the Manzo but some people like them. The Works AB-M is super affordable (but it is an axleback, not a catback)

I can try to get a sound clip if there's any interest. UEL OFH headers, Works AB-M, no other exhaust mods. It sounds amazing, very "expensive car" sounding compared to the N1 I had, not too loud.

Had Openflash headers and the N1... way too loud for me, and I like a loud car.
A quieter catback is usually a better choice IMO, especially when you have catless headers, the note is much nicer...
