Can do - if you still have any cats fitted it is possible for a large backfire to damage them.

iv'e got a full de-cat which would explain why the tailpipe is constantly black!

why does this happen? is it to do with overfueling,i'monly getting about 120 miles to a tank full?

cheers mate!

Your exhaust is always going to get black and dirty, whether yours is getting filthy quickly is hard to tell on here.

120 miles from a tank is bloody low though. If you've still got your std dv then put it back on and see what happens.
