Nah.  They run rich stock.  Look at an O2 sensor readout on a dyno chart
some time.  Stock roller SR20s and QR25s with less than 30k miles often
dip well into the 11-12:1 range, which is beyond "excessively rich."
I'd call that "OPEC-friendly tuning."  It's safe, but it's ugly, and it
makes lots of soot on things like exhaust tips and bumper covers.

I like having suggestions to clean them up, though.  My stock chrome
tips are pretty nasty right now.  May try steel wool, if somebody can
tell me that it won't rust off after doing so.
