Help, exhaust residue ??

Apexi original muffler

It appears more black than in this pic, its annoying !!!!

The exhaust does not blow any color smoke, but look at the color from on the top of the back bumper, it's black......

looks like your exhaust is too tuck into the after market rear bumper you have there, its just normal carbon residue. the exhaust gas is just flowing out and catches onto your bumper. extend the tip a bit.

Soot on the back of an FD, especially around the exhaust tip, is normal. Extend your muffler tip.

Hose down the bumper, Castrol Super Clean on it, wipe with sponge, done.

It's just too close to the bumper, as already said. To minimize the look of it, you can get one of those stick-on carbon fiber bumper guards.
