I always have the top down and have never had a smell whatsoever. If you want, I can show you if you are close by. Megan Racing here.

 

didn't bother me nor the chic. ymmv. your ass usually smells worse than the test pipe.

 

anyone with it on their car now and feels that it smells horrible? im looking for the worst case scenerio funk.

 

Smells like burning

 

burning? thats not a bad smell. relatively.

anybody else got a different smell?

i can probably stand a mechanical stink, but a nasty organic odor....

 

BAD. but that wasnt teh part that made me take it off. it was the consequences of getting caught in CA. a few 1-2 HP/tq isnt worth the 1k+ fine IMO.

 

well i plan on tacking on a factory cat heatshield so if anyone looks under it they see what seems to be a catalyst converter.
only thing im worried about is any afterburn peeping out the tailpipe.
i would be keeping the factory resonator and mufflers.
would that keep the afterburn down?

 

whats this afterburn you speak of?

 

what smell?

 

afterburn, when unburnt fuel in the exhaust is finally ignited when it exits the tailpipe.

what most people call backfire.
