Mine has plenty of soot on the inside the exhaust pipes (PSE). I use a quart of oil every 1000 miles (still, since new). Porsche is replacing both sport mufflers and the exhaust tips (PSE quads) tomorrow under warranty. They have been been exhibing a lot of noise at startup that remains until they warm up (and presumably expand). The welds that provide mounting points have cracked.

Delivery of my C2S was early January. It now has 2000 miles onit (break-in over) and yest there is a little soot on the inside and lip of the exhaust tips but nothing extreme. I clean it off when I wash the car. Have not noticed any oil burn or loss ( and that is a biggie after the GT3 and four RMS leaks) So far I am very happy with the car. If there were a single concern is that the ABS is perhaps a little sensitive, was told that is normal. Those with problems keep the rest of us informed and Mdrums hope yours is cured, it is a great vehicle.

Yes the ABS is more sensative on the 09, especially at slow speeds and cold tires. The ABS is kinda of weird in this car but I will let you know how it works out with hot tires with better grip at the track next month.

When you add up the CS2 soot problem, the inexplicable and inexcusable loss of classic Porsche engine sound going from CS1 to CS2, and the newly issued circumcised "hot dog" exhaust tips of the new PSE, it looks like Porsche really eff'd this one up....

I've got a little over 800 miles now on my 997.2 4S. I've noticed quite a bit of soot on the tailpipes (not washed it yet) but none on the garage floor. I've already added .5 qt of oil and looks like it could use a little more already. I'm not too concerned as it sounds about average but interested to see if it tails off any as I put on more miles.

I can't imagine you are the kind of driver that would have sooty pipes. There must be a problem.
My pipes almost look a little lean if anything and no oil consumption.

I too had a sport exhaust muffler replaced under warranty but they only did one side. I'll have to have them give my car a thorough looking over before my warranty is up at the end of Jan. 2010.

It's so odd to have perfectly CLEAN tailpipes now, since they replaced them as well today.

Ha ha , yeah that what I though too...my 06 and 06 Carrera S cars did not have sooty pipes nor did they burn oil.

Interesting - I too had one side of PSE replaced under warranty last August (just as my warranty was expiring), and I still have concerns that the other side is going.
