Sounds like somebody has a lot of unburned hydrocarbons running through their exhaust!

You may be running pig-rich (low AFR) and your cats may have something up. Probably not so good.

CLS 55 AMG
It's not surprising! A supercharger requires a very rich mixture of fuel. My CLS 55 AMG's quads have a small layer of caked on carbon on the inside of the tips. Quite a bit different than my Acura TLS that is naturally aspirated.
