I know it's amazing but I've been on here a year and a half and only started one thread and that was my introduction.

I have found answers to everything else by surfing and searching.

Must be one of those SPECIAL people. Lazy, stupid, and inconsiderate is no way to go thru life.

ESPECIALLY when someone is helping.

I got it at VIP Discount parts, but those stores are only in ME, NH and MA. The tip is made by DC Sports. Advance Auto Parts carries DC Sports tips but I haven't looked to see if they stock the black 4" tip like mine. The inlet had the same OD as my tailpipe so I had to modify it to fit over the tailpipe.

Mine started to show soot a month after purchase off the lot. I agree it can look a little gnarly on my chrome exhaust tip so I just wipe it off once every 2 weeks or so.

My mom just picked up an Ecoboost a week ago, i sprayed the exhaust tip black with exhaust paint. good to go now, won't really ever tell the difference!

I was getting some price quotes recently at a custom exhaust shop in Denver and asked about the black soot in the tailpipe after a long highway trip. They explained it is normal and is the result of catalytic converters cooling down the exhaust gases far more than older cars did, along with the resulting moisture (water) not getting burned and just dripping out the tailpipe.

I asked the question because long highway mile used to clean out the exhaust system from this soot on older cars and was a great "trick" back then. Hope that helps to explain why this is happening.
