sootless tail pipe good or bad?

Post by turbo970 »

ever since i got the car running right i notice more condensation and almost no soot on my exhaust tip. i pulled one of the plugs and the tip was a light grey and brownish color. but had soot on the base of the threaded portion. plugs are gapped at .038. should i be worried or keep on going

No soot at the tailpipe is good. Your plugs also sound fine.
