Is that the one with the flap?

I have no idea, got my car one week ago (freakinībeauty
) but Iīve only had time to drive it to and from work. This was just a theory I had, I havenīt seen any soot whatsoever on my ride and my pipes are staying clean. But I can imagine that this can be the factor behind your soot. Even if its not, that exhaust flap can cause problems with anyway. I always (almost everytime) make sure that when I start the engine I wonīt shut it down til it reached working temp so that any water build-up in the exhaust vaporizes or gets blown out when Iīm revving it. Often feel the exhaust pipes when I park to let the turbo cool off before shutting it down, if the pipes are warm then I know the whole system has got heated up.
Some might say overkill, but mine isnīt a lease like most of u guys have. Plan to keep it at least this generation out, and I drive around 50k miles a year so... yeah, I care
