Re: gas smell
If your running a race header, then its because you dont have a cat. I have the same issue- it sucks, sitting in traffic with the windows cracked it gets pretty bad.
Or.. your running a cat thats about dead and not cleaning up the exhaust gasses before they are emitted.
Or your just running extremely rich and your cat cant take it.
So recap, its either your cat or your A/F ratio
