I have the Megan and I don't smell it while in the car either. Not sure if anyone smells it from behind me. If it does then it has the added benefit of discouraging people from tailgating me in traffic
So Alan, you want people to stay a a 1/4 mile behind you

Test pipes are what they are...........for "testing" engine performance.

was driving behind a 350z the other day and he obviously had test pipes on. nice amounts of smoke when he got on it. i was top down and what i smelled was a rich running car. and at this moment driving behind a catless Z i realized that the shltty smell that people complain about is the smell of a rich A/F ratio. but then what about the "rotten egg" smell complaint? rotten egg and unburned/partially burned fuel smells nothing alike.
i kinda like that smell as a matter of fact. i dont love it, but i definitely dont hate it.
