Lean? Other than the specks, the inside of that pipe looks black to me. Have you wiped a spot off with your finger to see what comes off? Any chance those might be specs of corrosion on the pipe?

well I don't have a code scanner. and yeah it's definitely hella black like a bunch of sut and it comes off dark when you wipe it. not sure about corrosion though the specks seem fairly recent. maybe since i got the cutout installed but I'm not sure they might have been there before then

well I wiped it away, and what was left were little dark spots where the white spots were. and I looked at the exhaust cutout and there were no spots there, only in the tail pipe.
