Tailpipe condition could this mean your engine is in good health ?

I wonder if anyone cleans inside the normal or Quad tailpipes ends (if fitted) when washing the car ?
Theoretically the normal left sided (passenger side) tailpipe is exhausting most of the crap but with a quad its split 2 ways but the right side only exhausts a minimal outflow as the stream is pressured primarily through the original pathway so should one tailpipe be dirtier than the other also does a heavier "sooty" deposit on the ends indicate the engine has dirty oil and maybe a lot of carbon build up I clean around he inner edges & find hardly any thick deposits so I assume its running as it should be or to be precise its burning clean as a whistle?

Before my remap I always got sooty tailpipes and cleaned the residue off every wash since the remap the tips stay clean as a whistle so obviously the car as standard runs a little rich,

Wish I was rich and could afford quads and then compare hat on the floor for donations lol 😂 but on a serious note I always clean the inside of the exhaust when cleaning the car...
