Question White powder under the car?

i was pulling out today and i noticed a little mound of white powder that was under my car. i searched and i found 2 threads but they didnt really help that much.

i have a downpipe, midpipe and RB dual so i dont think its the cat failing because i dont have one. i know im running lean but im waiting on the automatic adapterfor my pfc to install it.

so any help with this

check under the car and look for a source location.

Depending on how much there was, it could be corrosion, maybe from the battery or a ground wire, but I don't see how that would end up on the ground...

Sorry, I meant look at the actual car, not the ground. See if there's crud forming on the transmission or exhaust or something...

Are you sure it didn't come off of something else (ceiling, the garbage can, etc.) while the FD wasn't in that spot?
