Black soot in tail pipes

[Doug Watson]

All, this may seem like a simple question but I'm seeing a lot of black soot in right side tail pipes of my 2024 Dark Horse, left side is always fairly clean. I understand the principle of what causes the soot, but it just seems that the right side is extremely heavy. Has anyone seen this and is it anything to be concerned with?

I would think as long as you have no CEL things are OK. Maybe drive it harder and take less short trips.

I don't have active exhaust but isn't the right side always open. That would explain the difference in the amount of carbon build up.

^^^^^^^^ THIS

How many miles? Air filter clogged or dirty? Lack of airflow can contribute to this otherwise normal phenomenon ... LOL.

A past discussion along the same lines: left and right valves are not in the same position in Normal mode.

Easy enough to look at the vales, well if it is stopped

Only 2000 miles, filters are clean, and it's been doing it since purchased. I was just curious as to why the right side produces more carbon than the left. Thanks to all who responded.
