This morning when i went to start my car to warm up cuz it snowed the night before when i went out to throw some shit in my trunk i noticed the exhausts was spitting black shit out have no clue what it is or why it would be doing it. The car is stock except for the injen intake SS/SC incase it matters. Help me please what is wrong with my car?

the black was probably just carbon in the water vapors. you might be running slightly fuel rich.

I would check and find out exactly what code your cel is throwing. It might be your o2 sensors are saying that you cat is under performing. And if thats the case it would explain the black smoke. your dealer should be abe to fix it under warranty.

All cars and trucks do this so there is nothing to worry about.
