Yes... but also directly from us.

 

My bumper and exhaust tip get a little black. I wash the car about once a week, and haven't really noticed it blackening the rear any more than any other car I've owned.

SC~

 

The exhasut will retail for $599.00 and we will have pics up this weekend.

 

I noticed the black smoke in the exhaust pipe as well in mine, I know the pipe usually should look clean and kind of beige instead of smoky black. Is it just because of the reach fuel or something else is involved in the process? Also is it going to be like this all the time or this is just on the beginning untill few thousand of miles are driven and everything sits the why it suppose? Any experts on this one? Because I got scared that it might burn the oil.



Sorry to post so many questions in one tread but I got scared when I saw this.

 

I'm guessing that the slight bit of exhaust visible when the turbo kicks in is part of this rich running at high RPM's right? I sometimes see some exhaust behind me at night (when other car's lights are behind) when the turbo kicks in. I was wondering if that's normal for a turbo, seeing how I'm a turbo newbie.

 

It’s mainly the positioning of the exhaust tip in relation to the bumper. The bumper sticks out further then the tip making it exposed to the gas. Most cars burn a little extra fuel and oil the first 500 miles or so, not really enough to notice. Turbo cars can run a bit rich in the low RPM's, but I think the problem is the placement of the exhaust.

 

I agree on this one.

 

So do all stock evos have this problem? Do i need to get the black smoke checked out or NOT?

 

wow... you dug this one wayyy out of the grave...


if you've got black soot on your bumper... get-r-tuned, that'll fix your problem
