Default exhaust pipe color

My 2017 triglide has me a little nervous as my exhaust pipe has turned white on the inside of the muffler, the other muffler is a light gray, the exhaust is the vance and hines x pipe with a set of cobra slip on mufflers, with the stage 1 screaming eagle air cleaner and the screaming eagle tuner. Will be going to dealer tomarrow, I feel the exhaust is on the lean side, anybody got any imput ? It would be greatly appreciated'. All of this was installed by dealer.

I don't know what lean looks like, but one of mine is just as black as night, and filthy dirty, and I was told It's running way too rich, if that helps. 2016 Limited Ultra, V&H heavy breather, Power Duals, and High Output slip-ons. Standing behind the bike & looking toward the front, the sooty pipe is the left one that crosses under the frame.

my left pipe (standing behind the bike) is the solid white and my right pipe is light grey. Went to dealer today and they said it was okay.

They are lean to start with, adding pipes just makes it worse. Don’t expect any help from the dealer. They all do that...
