In my opinion, black soot on the tailpipes accumulating over 1k miles should be considered a warning sign of possible oil consumption. The pipes will get dirty, especially with test pipes, but just a heads up .



What if you have a muffler delete (aam short tales)? Would you get some darkness on the tailpipes?

Kinda like when you run hi-flow cats, you would have some smoke when you get on it.
