I'm planning on buying a test pipe from T1R that's able to mount the CAT shield on it... but I'm a little worried about the smell it leaves when driving normal. Has anyone driven behind an S2K with a TP? How is the smell when driving from behind? Do you think it's something so noticeable that a cop will pick up on it if they're behind you?

It stinks and is very noticeable.

 

I can't speak about the S, but I had a 3" turbo back exhaust with test pipe on my Evo and it didn't smell at all hardly.

 

Like the sound and thruttle response,
but hate the smell in stop and go traffic.
Once you come to a stop you well smell it, gives you headache.
Can cops smells it? I would say yes.

 

Had it on for 3 days and now I had my cat. back on.
The smell is just too much for me. It gets in the interior and is there all the time while you drive.

 

I never smelled mine after installing it myself. Never had a problem with the smeel, and the car felt great afterwards. However the friends that would follow behind me in there cars could smell it as it would come out the pipes.

 

yes

 

You can smell it but compared to other catless cars, its nothing.

Sure cops can smell it but from behind it doesn't smell like catless, it just smells like your running very rich. Only at a stop does it have that "catless" smell to it.

I got pulled over because I was emitting black puffs of smoke...never said anything about the smell however

 

mine too just smells like im running rich - and I cannot smell it at all inside the car

 

The smell will be noticeable during the car warn up in the morning.
