Re: Dirty Exhaust Tips
I'm not sure if this is an issue or not. I've noticed that the tips of my exhaust get a black "soot" fairly quickly. I noticed that there were streaks on the ground below the exhausts on my garage floor. I asked the dealership and they said it's normal for water to mix with the carbon and that's what caused the stains. I had the car washed 2 days ago and have driven about 20 km since and the exhausts are completely dirty again. Is this normal?

Re: Dirty Exhaust Tips
I run Shell V-Power. I've cleaned the exhaust again to monitor the situation, it doesn't seem as bad as it was. Since I bought the car used, maybe the person before me wasn't using the best fuel. I'm going to also try a fuel system cleaner next fill-up, just in case.

Use seafoam to put in your tank. Helps clean up junk in your fuel tank. Make sure tank is full of fuel first. Also to further clean ur engine, before u go to change oil, put a can of seafoam in as well. Works wonders!!
