Default Exhaust Project Need HELP!

I am pretty sure you guys have heard of this issue happening so here goes. I had some work done on my car in November and since then I have a problem with my exhaust spitting out black stuff on my rear bumper. It is frustrating when I get my car detail and 3 days later my bumper is full of the black stuff and the rest of the car is beautiful. Just to give you an idea starting from front to back I had a Vararam cold air, ported LS6 TB, ported LS6 intake manifold, 205cc heads, 224/232 cam, Kooks LT headers, Corsa X pipe, and Corsa Pace Car catback put in and that when the black stuff started accumilating on my rear bumper. I was thinking about getting some bullets and putting turn downs for my exhaust and just mounting some dummy quad tips in the void space where my Corsa tips currently are. If anyone has any ideas of suggestions please feel free to reply, PM or email me at the_dartez@me.com. Thanks in advance for the info this place is like the Corvette Bible it always gives me guidance in my journey with this beautiful piece of machinery.

Pick up a bottle of Seafoam. That's what most people are going to tell.
