Normal buildup?

I have a Borla ATAK cat back on my car and am wondering if anyone else experiences this. After about a week of driving after washing, the pipes develop a significant exhaust (carbon?) buildup along the inside bottom. Very unsightly, and I don't ever see anything like it on other cars. Does everyone just keep their vehicles really clean, or is something wrong with mine? I forgot to take a picture of it before I washed my car yesterday, so I photo shopped what I'm talking about into this one. Any thoughts?

I get the same, I just spray a little cleaner on a rag and wipe them down when I wash the car too.

The stock mufflers have weep holes, since the aftermarkets systems don't that stuff goes right out the tips.
