Default precision muffler and cai = black film on back bumper ?

ever sence i installer my new flow through magnaflow muffler by precision muffler i have this black film - sut - carbon, on my rear bumper all around the exhaust cut out of my pw xb. is it running to lean or rich because of the cai and exhaust? the tip is pretty flush maybe i can move it out a few inches out or something. anyone else have this problem?

is there any way to prevent it?
the next thing i'm getting for my xb is an exhaust. but i dont want to have it belching out black smoke like all the civics and jettas around here.

i think just as long as you do a cat back you should be fine, i don't think you should mess with the O2 sensors
