Is it blue or black diesel smoke/gunk???

My 2003 Excursion was built (as they all were) with a to short tailpipe and it dirtied my rear quarter panel.

Do you think a chrome extention tip would solve your problem... it did for me.

Good luck,

Jeff

I have black soot all over my rear bumper on the left side. I think it looks cool. Just shows that she's being worked.

Todder, left side? Did your new exhaust switch the side it comes out at? My stock comes out on the right.
