Exhaust problem, help :-) please
Got a brand new 2011 STi sedan with about 2600 miles, just started getting on it a little bit and when I punch it in sport sharp, black smoke/little globs of dusty clumps come out my right tailpipe, and a little smoke out my left, I think I may be just running rich? Anyone else have this problem? Warranty issue??

I never experienced that on my 2011 WRX. Only the obligatory burning scent from the burn-in period of gel,sealants,etc. Maybe get a Cobb AP and flash it to Stage 1 asap? I would bring it up to the dealership because it's under warranty.

Everything I know about GR factory tunes, would lead me to believe that you're not running rich. Stock GR tunes are typically lean. Take it to a stealership, or better yet, somebody who actually knows what their doing and have it checked out. It sounds like it should be easy to replicate the issue. Are you parked when this is happening, or can you see the smoke in your rear view mirror?

. The GR stock tune runs very lean until about 4500RPM and then runs VERY rich the rest of the way to redline. Awful all around. -- Ed
