Sea Foamed -> white smoke/deposit -> orange deposit

Sea Foamed to the intake (thru brake booster) and in crankcase, and run probably 5~10 miles checking the fume coming out from exaust regularly.
At first the white smoke came out a lot resulting some sort of white carbon deposits formed on the tip of exaust (mainly on the right side tip on OEM exaust) then I drove more and found out the deposit became quite reddish color, like orange deposit similar to clay color.
Has anyone experience this???

could be some rust that got loosened up and exited the exhaust

i believe the fact that you see the deposits on the right side is normal since the left side doesnt open up until high rpms - so most of the exhast leaves the right side
