Brand new exhausts will do this a lot worse – the engines do run on the rich side and all the carbon will collect in the exhaust – if its nice new stainless it does not stick to the interior of the exhaust well – and when all the condensation forms as it cools it will create a nice black sooty snot laden ‘sneeze’ when you start it up!
Lol, all my garage doors were open, which made the fact that my eyes were burning even more annoying! Hopefully after today it won't be so rich!

I hope my car doesn't leave a permanent black spot on the garage floor...

Tried the new map today with the software changes and it definitely made a difference. Throttle response from idle improved greatly and the exhaust was nowhere near as potent as it was. Altho I have a ticking sound coming from somewhere so I think I have an exhaust leak. Time to jack the car up and check things out...

I hope it is, but the car can get up to operating temp and it's still there. I'm not too familiar with diagnosing exhaust leaks, but I do know that they sound like a ticking. I've run the car about 5 times. I can't honestly remember, but I'm pretty sure that it hasn't been there every time, otherwise I would have noticed. We'll see. I'm going to jack the car up and just take a look at all the connections.

I had a ticking noise after my car sat for a few months, it wouldn't go away until I drove it a while.

I think it may be lifter noise. Either way, tuning is progressing and after reviewing datalogs, the engine is doing better than I had initially thought/hoped!

Don’t get caught up in the little noises yet – the car hasn’t; been driven 6 inches yet!
The engine, exhaust and other parts have not seen any load or any real heat…..yet.

Since when did 12 year olds need a job? (Inside joke)

It was Darwin’s birthday yesterday….

And since when do 15 year olds build engines?

Thanks for spreading the news...

Any news on the maiden voyage?

Idling in your garage for 3 days isn't good on a new engine either
