Is this a brand new unmodified car? If so, I highly doubt it's your headgaskets. It could just be ash from various leftover oils, etc from manufacturing.

Yes it is brand new unmodified car

Its crack. Your car has been snorting crack.

Honestly its just probably some harmless substance. I would love to see where you found the information that it said it was the headgaskets.

Wipe it out, see if it keeps happening. I wouldn't worry unless it keeps happening, then investigate.

What makes it more interesting that it is in just 1 exhaust tip is that this car has dual tips, not dual exhaust. That makes it a lot more likely to just be some debris that got caught in there somehow.

Are you consuming coolant?

is the car consuming coolant...just in case Zion wasn't specific enough lol.

Does you're car smell like rotten eggs? (common smell for bad catalytic converters), could be the muffler disintegrating. is it white powder like sugar or flower? or more coarse like fine metal shavings?
