Exhaust Buildup

[Jeff Likes Bagels]

I had a really hard time trying to find something that was already posted about this, so I figured that I would post a new thread.

Anyways, I had just got my car on Sunday. It runs perfectly fine. However, yesterday, I swapped exhaust tips. The one that I took off was fairly dirty, with some black buildup on it. When I put the new one on, which was perfectly clean, it had already gotten a complete black layer of buildup on it within hours of driving the car.

Should I be worried about this? My old car produced absolutely no buildup, so I was concerned when I noticed how much this one put out. If needed, I can take a picture in the morning when there is light out to show you guys.

Thanks.

That is odd, especially after only a few hrs of driving. My s2k would do this but after days if not weeks. Good luck finding out whats wrong. Hopefully it's not a big issue.

I'd drive it for a week and see if it continues. It probably didn't get driven often or run often enough on the lot, and this could have allowed some moisture into the exhaust etc. In short give it a week and see if it gets better.
