    dirty exhaust question

    i have a p5 with a custom exhaust. resonator and sec cat removed. I can clean my exhaust tip and i can drive 150 miles and its solid black again, any thoughts? i checked my oil and it was kinda low. i run the 626 filter and i put in 4 quarts of oil. is it possible i have a gasket leak somewhere and burning oil in the cylinder. if this was the case would the car run like crap? if i lost pressure on a cylinder would i get a check engine light? I just don't want to have to rip the engine apart to find out nothing is wrong.

    You're just going to have to get used to cleaning it. My basically stock exhaust w/ the Mazdaspeed axle-back gets black very quickly too. It's normal...
