It is not normal for a new car's exhaust pipe to have black residue. It is normal for the exhaust pipe to turn black after the car has been driven for a while, but if a new car's exhaust pipe turns black, the main reason is incomplete combustion of gasoline. This could be due to the use of low-quality gasoline or an incompatible fuel grade, or it could be caused by a faulty catalytic converter. Methods to solve the blackening of the exhaust pipe: 1. Clean the throttle body—remove the engine cover, take out the throttle body, clean it with a specialized cleaning agent, and then wipe it dry with a cloth; 2. Clean the internal carbon deposits in the engine; 3. Clean the carbon deposits in the fuel system. If you lack experience, it is recommended to have these solutions handled at a repair shop.
