[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1028327, member: 52972"] Another factor to consider is the climate you operate your vehicle in. Colder climates means that your engine will run a bit richer until it gets warmed up, and will cool down faster. So if make a lot of short trips, stop for an hour and then start up again your engine will be running a richer most of the time. Having said that, I live in Central Texas where it is hot-hot about 9 months of the year and I rarely drive less than 15-20 miles when I go out anywhere....yet I have black smudges on the chrome exhaust tips of both of my vehicles I think Eddie's answer may be on the right track? I think that some exhaust tips might have a drain hole near their mounting to the tail pipe to let accumulated condensation drip out rather than go out the tip. So a leak or drain hole near where the tip attaches to the exhaust might be beneficial in keeping the chrome exhaust tip cleaner?? ...Rich [/QUOTE]
