grease/black oil coming out from my muffler??

i notice some moisture... i thought it was just water.
but took some napkin's and wiped it... it was black, like grease or some type of black oil. coming from the inside of my muffler.

i have a magnaflow muffler with a magnaflow resonator.. with a custom mid pipe
is that grease normal?????

it could've been just water with the dust from the muffler itself, cause the insidde of mufflers temd to get dirty...

unless your sure that ist oil....

just go to a local lube shop and get them to do a fuel system cleaning they work good at cleaning out the carbon deposits in the engine and exhaust system and plus give you some nice fuel mileage.

Have you been running rich? Does it spit out a watery black fluid upon startup?
