Default C7 exhaust difference

My outside exhaust tips are way darker than the insides. I have a range device so it's never in 4 cyl mode. Is it normal?

Do you have the NPP exhaust? If so then that's pretty normal since the outside pipes bypass some of the muffler. If you have the standard exhaust then somethings odd since they only have 1 outlet from the muffler to the two tips.

You probably have NPP exhaust, where it would be normal as the diagram below indicates.

Looking at the pic in your avatar, it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do OP. No worries

I have the NPP exhaust and the outside tips always require more cleaning than the inside ones do. I'd say yours is normal.
