Any oil burning?
Hmm, maybe a plastic bag got caught by your muffler and burnt and stuck?

maybe you are running too rich? thats what I always though largte amts of black soot mean... and from your other post.. you don't have a heat shield anymore... maybe you caught something on your cat... or something hit it... causing a hole?

cats fine, no hole, heat shield still intact on that.

maybe it needs a tuneup.
