Is it the norm for my 991 3 to have a pretty good amount of carbon buildup on exhaust tips ? Do these motors run rich as a norm....

Take it to the track and they will switch to a light grey/tan look. After driving around town they will go back to black.

Run at 9000 for a while and you'll see how fast it goes to white
