am I running lean?

I have all the current mods are in my sig and I just added the licp....car is smoother but sounds louder. I readjusted my boost to 21psi....I've just been worried becuase I've heard when your muffler gets white instead of black inside its poossible your lean, I'm going to plug my evoscan in today and check my knock but I don't have a wideban yet.....any opinions?

Use mitsulogger and log your car along with the evoscan. It should give you a bit of an idea on how its running. The narrowband readings would give a bit of an insight, but not as clear as a wideband.

What kind of gas are you using, pump or race? Some race fuels will leave deposits in the exhaust like you are speaking of.

Injector duty cycle.. by calculating the injector pulse width
Even if it doesn't knock you can still run lean.
