If you are blowing smoke and carbon out the tailpipes, its a sign of other problems and most of them are not good.

No it's not that, I was just wondering because the car has like 110,000 miles on it and I've read and heard about people cleaning their systems out...

Re: Exhaust Cleaning?

There should not be enough of anything in there to make it necessary.

A properly running engine will keep it clean.

Take it out and drive it like is should be driven...

Frequent blasts to redline will blow out any carbon in the system, and keep it clean. The stock system is stainless, and shouldn't have any rust. Other than that, there's not much you can do.
