Black soot clanking sound

My 06 just started making a lot more black soot on the chrome exhaust pipe, also stared hearing clanking clattering sound on occasional start ups.

Only thing I have done different was filled up with Chevron 93 instead of my usual Exxon 92.

Any help on this please?

Also have not been driving out of the city in almost two months, no interstate driving.

ANY HELP on this please

Soot on the tips

So I say...........don't worry about it.

Have a great day.
