    Sorry I'm having a hard time gathering the meaning of your post? What do you mean the rear is not sparkly in the light? Do you mean the exhaust tip?

    Does he mean the exhaust is putting crap all over the rear bumper? No idea.

    lol are you serious???? its most likely brake dust...... probably because your driving harder cos u have an exhause hence your braking harder..... if its not it would be either normal dust. but it would only be a minute amount of exhaust residue/dust sticking to car....

    Two things stand out in your post, the title "Exhaust problem" and "X Force"......

    It would be the poor quality glass packing in the mufflers breaking up and coming out the tail pipes. Cheap fibreglass breaks apart easily and it would be these fibres that you see sparkling in the light.

    This happened to a friends 3.0L once, with an xforce setup. Except a week later his engine failed. Pretty common problem with xforce and 3.0L's
