I just installed an injen intake yesterday, and someone noticed today that when I rev it a bit a small amount of black smoke comes out.

No idea if its always done this anyways, the inside of the exhaust is black from how rich it runs, but is the black normal? Do you guys get that?

 

Mine blows black too when I get on the gas. It's just from running rich. You don't really have to start worrying until the smoke turns blue, lol

 

normal... should stop in a few days...

 

Yea its normal, LOL you should see my exhaust and my back bumper, thing is black.

 

I have yet to see any smoke from my rear end or any skid marks on the bumper.

 

All depends on your mods, my rear of my bumper around my exhaust is black.

 

Mine are AEM, stage 2 w/ 2.8 and a flowmaster muffler. So far nothing.

 

Hmm wierd i would think with that you would get some.

 

Me too. I have heard the getting black smoke for awhile and felt left out.

 

I had black smoke comes out since I got the car on day 1. It still comes out at 3,000 miles and I am stock

 

Thanks guys You rule!

The other good news is my CEL went out today

 

I have black smoke since new, it's due to a rich air/fuel blend this is normal, but i hate to have to wash my car so often to keep my polished exhaust tip look

 

No worries there it's your ECU adjusting the A/F ratio on it's own for the new intake. Might be a emission part trying to keep up after you let off too.

 

If I give her a good rev a black cloud is what you will see. I just attribute it to these cars being built like absolute garbage. Sorry I am very unhappy I have been without my car since Sunday.
