Default DECAT BLUES??

I fairly recently had the up pipe decatted so the H&S System sounds great.

I've noticed my rear box geting black soot around it.

Today, when I pulled away quickly, I looked my rear mirror & noticed a puff of black smoke comming out the exhaust.

Is this normal & can I do anything to stop the build up of black soot?

Thanks.

Regards.

It was remapped after the STI Decatted Up Pipe was fitted.

It also sometimes backfires if I use the fun pedal & then take my foot off it when changing up through the gears.

Good scheme.

It gives me another excuse to see the mapper & listen to the sweet sounds of Scoobs being improved.

As said above the best thing to do is to have a chat with your mapper, JGM must be getting so bored at the ammount of Q's i throw at him all the time
