Anyone else get a nice black ring in the snow from there exhaust? I noticed it on my jeep while it was warming up today. Not sure if it is normal for a jeep or not.

You're worried about the snow? lol

Exhausts don't exactly put out clean air. I wouldn't think much of it.

If you are that worried I guess you could replace your cat and get a new O2 sensor but it probably wouldn't do anything. If the jeep runs fine then dont worry about it

Not worried about the snow, more worried about the jeep running rich and wanted to know if this was a normal thing.

As long as you dont have a big cloud behind your jeep when it runs then its fine
