So i've noticed after my straight pipe( resonator, muffler delete) that oil builds up all over my trunk and bumper. It's not a lot but obviously just started to notice. The car doesn't have white smoke coming out or nothing feels wrong. haven't seen any sort of leakage either. any helpful information would he appreciated.

Since it's not smoking and it's clearly not being burned off. That means it's not going in the combustion chamber. This means you likely have a turbo that is going out. From my understanding, as the bearing journals wear out, they start leaking oil, possibly into the exhaust. I'd take off the down pipes and see which turbo has more oil on it, that's gonna be your culprit.

Is it actually oily or is it possibly black dust? Without the resonator and muffler to catch those deposits, you will often get more exhaust deposits, especially if you are running slightly rich.
well honestly it isn't very oily its more like dusty you can say. i was running rich and then i got it all set.
