Dirty exhaust tips

[duckman631]

2016 1500 hemi. 95,000 mi. Around 85000 mi I removed and hand cleaned the throttle body to almost brand new. At the same time, I installed the catch can. I read somewhere on here that the catch can should eliminate the black buildup on the inside bottom of the exhaust tips. I cleaned the tips and over a couple months the buildup was there. I cleaned them again and same thing. I drained the catch can after a few thousand miles and it was about an inch or so of liquid inside a regular 16oz plastic water bottle. Oils was changed as well. Anything I should be looking at to see why I’m still getting that black carbon buildup on the tips? Thanks

lol no - its from the fuel added to the mix the catch can would never help. actually black tip residue is a good thing.

I remember back in the day we could tell if a car didn't burn oil by the light color of the tail pipes. I had a '69 Plymouth Fury with a 440, the tail pipes was as white as baby powder inside!

I don't doubt that but if an engine burned oil back then the pipe would be black or dark. Very rare but I've seen some today have a gray look inside the exhaust pipe. Lol

actually just the other day i was looking in the tailpipe of a year old (around 500 hours of use ) tower light with a 2 cylinder Kubota diesel engine
the caked on soot at the end of the tailpipe had a very grey appearance to it as well as the puff of smoke at start up looks grey
normally those little diesel generators always puff black at start up and are caked with oily soot at the tip of the tailpipe
I was wondering if maybe they used a different grade of diesel for a few tanks or so

You'll see white tail pipes on vehicles that guys are throwing a bunch of octane booster in the tank,or are running race fuel.Usually the plugs will also be white too.

16 ounces of oil in a catch can
You must be leaving it too long between times of dumping it

I installed a catch can on my 2009 Dodge Ram HEMI
I dumped the catch can at every oil change, which i did at every 5,000 miles.

i used a 16oz plastic water bottle. It only had about an inch or so of fluid from the catch can.

Get black exhaust tips and you will never know if they get discolored from your exhaust

Same here with the black badge package, except mine must have been made on friday as the passenger side got chrome emblems and the drivers were black. Ive changed out lug nuts and finally did the exhaust tips and it looks way better.

I'm with you there! I had 2 '69 Sport Fury and 1 '69 Fury 1 that was a 2 door ex police car. It had a speedometer that registered 140 and had the word "certified" right in the middle below the needle. Only one I've ever seen but then again it was the only 2 door police car I ever seen. No carpet just a rubber mat like the old pickups use to have.
