brown liquid coming out of the exhaust.

I saw brown liquid coming out of the exhaust today while it was running. I had a feeling I was running lean. What do guys think? Do you guys know of this? let me know!

Yea,, remember the phrase, "better rich than lean" or, "you can always be more rich than lean".

Yea, just extra oil. Becareful holding your car at a angle, just so o whole bunch of oil doesnt come jolting out lol. Do it over grass or something, i internaly clean my exhaust pipe ever now and then.

You might want to plug your stinger with a piece of cloth or something also while your transporting your car. You don't want oil spilling out all over your trunk or back seat.

I use foam earplugs when I am done running my nitro stuff. Just roll them up and slide it in the exhaust outlet before it expands.

That's normal. As long as it's not spewing out tons of it! All that is is unburnt fuel/oil. I assume you are getting good blue/gray smoke? How's your temps.? 215F*-230F*?
