Yeah, me too. I had a Monza on my '69 GT6+ and the back bumper was
sooty as well. I think it is due partially to the Monza pipes being
upturned, while most other pipes I have seen are downturned or straight
out. Guess it's just routine cleaning Monza owners have to put up with!
Hope this helps!
Keep Triumphing,
