Default sooty exhaust

I noticed my exhaust was sooty but didn't think anything of it but I just put my on on and it has quite a bit of black soot inside from just a few days driving.

Is this normal?? (escort rs turbo S2)

Cheers

You will get a sooty exhaust with unleaded fuel. Not like the old days when you would get a nice grey exhaust from the lead.

Mine was over fuelling which caused that and at its worst seem to resemble a middle east oil field burning out the back
