I have a 6.0, and I just put new dual exhaust 2 weeks ago. I picked up the truck and drove around for about 2 hours loving the sweet new sound of my truck. When I got home my sparkling stainless pipes had black soot all on the inside. Wiped it out and it was clean. I have repeated this process every single time I have drove my truck and there is a slight black buildup that won't come off with just a rag, maybe need a solvent or something but I havent bothered. Anyway, I dont think there is any way of avoiding soot on the exhaust pipes, so I have recently switched to just keeping the outside of the tips clean, not the inside. I wouldnt worry as long as you arent seeing excessive smoking or experiencing any power loss. I think diesel and soot go hand-in-hand.
