I'm running dtlth, urd tcai, urd mafc and solo muffler. I have carbon buildup on my exhaust tip. I replaced one crush gasket 2 months ago. Is this normal to have carbon buildup running this setup or do I need to have it tuned properly? Any suggestions

I have always had a lot of carbon build up on mine as well.
When I was NA and even now after I am S/C'ed, and still after getting the X-1 as well.
I finally went to a turn down exhaust because I got sick of cleaning the side of my truck that would get splattered with carbon/water mixture.
More then anything it seems to be how a person drives the truck, when I drive my truck like an old man that wouldn't happen, but when I drive like I normally drive it would happen a lot.

When you start modding this truck and modifying exhaust components, you're going to get carbon build up. ESPECIALLY when you start deleting your cats. When I first got mine S/C'd, it was terrible because I was running extremely rich. I had to clean my trucks exhaust area about every 3-4 days:thumpdown:. Some trucks produce it faster then others...it mainly depends on how free flowing your exhaust is, AFR (too rich), etc..
I don't have any pics currently of it, but basically when the exhaust goes over the axle, I have it turned down and cut there. So it doesn't come out behind my mud flap.
With an X-Runner though, effects kit has a cut out and it looks weird without something there, though I know a few on the site that have covered it up completely.
