I thought a Hondata reflash kinda leans it out more??? Maybe I'm wrong
might help, might not, but I'm sure it won't take care of it all together, you'd need K-pro for that.
it is just the nature of an exhuast, there isn't much you can do to prevent it.

Thank you for all of your responses. PWP + HKS Hi Power = :thumbsdow

yes, reflash leans out the WOT A/F ratios, especially in VTEC
i think soot is a byproduct of improper combustion.. so i guess leaning it out should help with the soot..
new plugs and O2 sensor would do a better job.
Extended hangers may be your only hope.
