Sooty exhaust tip... normal?
My exhaust tip is pretty sooty, not like a diesel, but just making me question it. It is carbon build up, definitely not oil. So, what is yours like?

The stock 4.0L in my ZJ has some soot, but the stroker in my XJ has quite a bit more.

The Gibson SS tip on my exhast looks like a coal stack on a locomotive.
