Excess Amount of Soot on Tailpipes
Hi guys
Ive been noticing a large amount of soot build up on the inside of my tailpipes. Im running a Stage 2 OFT tune (uel headers, stock air intake) with FT86 UEL headers as well as a Grimmspeed CAI. I know that CAIs can change AFRs, but from the research ive done, the grimmspeed CAI seems to be similar to stock. Am I running too rich, or is this normal? I cleaned and polished my tailpipes about 2 1/2 weeks ago, so the buildup you see in the picture is from 2 1/2 weeks of off and on driving. |

Welp, since it's ma nap time, I'll give you my short answer; soot happens, I suggest you not worry about it.

I would say it's normal especially for a canned tune. They're gonna run richer for safety. How are your fuel trims generally?

Normal. My FRS had a lot of soot in the exhaust for some reason. Wayyy more than my M4 for some odd reason.

Back in the day we could tell by looking at the tail pipe. no residue - engine hasn't been run white - running lean light gray - just right black - running rich black with dripping gasoline - choke is stuck closed |

Brings to mind the time, back on the farm, when I was backing my car out of the barn and ran over the family dog - yep, it was bleeding from the ears and mouth, so, I had to put it down - shot it with my trusty .22 rifle. The "rest of the story" is that my parents and siblings had gone to Florida for a month, leaving me in charge of the farm (at 14 years old mind you). Upon their return, after they pulled in the driveway, my little sister bounded out of the car, yelling, "where's Tippy". I told her he was on the other side of the house in the garden. I had buried it and put up a nice wooden marker with it's name on it. My mother glared at me and ask, "what happened to the dog?". I explained. My father asked me if I had killed any other animals on the farm. My sister came from the other side of the house screaming - I hate you! A lot of thanks from my family for successfully caring for 200 hogs, 14 cows, 8 sheep and 40 chickens, for a month. |
