Re: black residue spits out of my exhaust

most likely just residue coupled with condensation i would think. unless there is like a massive amount of crap bein spat out the exhaust, then it's probably nothing to worry about.

How old is your exhaust? It might just be the old crap with condensation, it shouldn't be anything to worry about.

Re: black residue spits out of my exhaust

what gas are you running? reg/premium? If you're using premium and your engine isn't running hot enough it might be partially unburnt gas.
