Exhaust problem

[IntegraDc2R]

Hi guys, i've recently bought an integra type R 2000 model and i noticed that everytime i turned on the engine the exhaust would srays out black residue, i've got a twin loop xforce ehaust and i'm just wondering if this is normal for a type R or is there something wrong with my engine?

it's the carbon build up in your exhaust mixing with condensation causing the "spray"..

nothing to worry about..

someone suggested to me that i should do a leak down and compression check is that necessary?
thanks for the reply

If it only happens when u start the car and then it goes away then yeh its just ur normal carbon buildup..
However if its still there once the car is warm and when the car is idling and u rev it black comes out, then its running rich.. ( needs a tune up )... could be 02 sensor,plugs e.t.c

Although being a 2000 model i couldnt see anything serious need replacing yet..

Goodluck!
