2012 Owners... Black Exhaust Soot ???
My car has about 2000 Miles now and the inside of the tailpipes were covered in black exhaust soot.
Anyone else? or.. do I have an issue?
Pics?

I have an 09 and I have the same issue as you. I could wash my car and completely clean the black carbon off the chrome exhaust pipes but a few days later the carbon is back again.
The important thing is to clean it off at least once a week because when it stays on there and you neglect the chrome, it will become all pitted and the chrome pipes will never look new again.

Cars tuned from the factory are on the rich side, that's why you get the black soot. Getting a tune will help, otherwise keep wiping it off everytime you clean it. It's an exhaust after all.
all 4 tips are black now
