Car's generally run rich from the factory. It doesn't help the matter having a DI based platform either.
If I lay on my throttle enough to call for the Methanol to spray, I notice my tips getting blacker than usual, and quicker.
A partial sign to me that the meth is cleaning all of that built up carbon crap from the internals.

I have caught a little "Ford Gremlin" outside my home after midnight spray painting my tips black... Maybe some of you have seen him too!

I cleaned mine this weekend. I have a set of Wheel Whooles that are normally used to clean your wheels with...the biggest one is just the right size to fit into the pipe and clean it out.

I only get a little black on the stock tip where it rolls around. Last thing I wipe when I dry her off.

Does "never again" mean your not ever going to clean them again or not wait that long? I've found that using Adam's Polishes Metal Polish #1 and followed with #2 really helps keep the tips looking great and after a few applications, it seems that they stay cleaner. But then again, I go over mine at least twice a week with Quick Detailer....
I have to clean my Borla inside really only once per week but don't run with any tune. Started with NEVR Dull, but it's a pain in the but. Now just use Armourall on an old sock. Works great & regular mist on outside. To leave that chrome black would be terrible. I'm in no way a mechanic but sounds like you're running rich.

Mine got black pretty quick and I'm just leaving them that way, too much of a pain to try and clean that crap out very often
mark:
mine are same way i can only reach in so far & could probably do mine less often but am pretty anal about keeping them clean, but my hands aren't that big so can stick my whole hand in it & rotate the sock & then they are spotless. love the chrome & the borla ones have their name on them so keep them real clean. I agree w/Mark if you do them more often each time takes less time & like dave, final item to clean when cleaning her up

Spray some of their wheel cleaner on the exhaust tips, pop in the wheel whooly and your done.

Scott has a big problem with sticking **** in black holes.
His detail cart is an even bigger scare.
