Default muffler tips coated with soot

so i noticed my mufflers have a light/medium coat of black carbon and soot that wipes off with a finger. I just noticed this after doing all my mods in my signature, minus the O/R H pipe. Whats going on?

I have a separate rag handy just for the tips when I wash my Stang. Kinda like using toilet paper instead of your bath towel... [sm=icon_stickpoke.gif]

I haven't seen much soot since putting the whipple on. With my brenspeed tune my tips were always black.

Funny you mention that Moose! Mine have more on it now than with my CAI/tune from the same installer and tuner. Not worried though as the A/F ratio is great and she runs well!
