hmm, i run a straight pipe without havin any unsightly stains on my rear bumper. i did notice the exhaust tips are somewhat discolored now, but it's probably nothing some polish can't get off.

jae: have you tried clay bar/polish to remove the stains on the bumper?

I have no brownish stain. You sure you're not running rich or something?

yup, I use a clay and it gets it off. My car does shoot flames so maybe that has something to do with it. The brownish haze is not super noticeable until you walk up to it.
My godborthers white wrx had it but worse and my lil sis black wrx has it. You just can't see it but when I take a polish and wipe the bumper the cloth comes out dark brown.

My bumper gets stained from my test pipe and I have the smell to go with it even though I have had the AFR leaned out with a VAFC.
