You might get used to the smell after a while, but the cop following you in traffic will definitely be able to smell it.

It stank up the garage and anything in the trunk. Also you could really smell it at stoplights.

Question is, how does this smell affect people's health?

i don't see why everyone complains about the "stink" factor...

it's just a slight gasoline smell, and it's only when you come to a stop. IMHO the good definitely outweighs the bad!

I think it may be more intense if you're FI.

Gasoline vapors are NOT good for your health.

But that's not the stink.

It's combinations of nitrogen compounds. Supposedly not harmful, but stinky.

I agree.

I was hesitant at first to put a test pipe on, but after having it for a week and a half it was worth it. The smell is there, but the good outweighs the bad.
