whats that offroad smell?

RedStangGT · April 28th, 2007, 03:53 AM

i noticed since i got my offroad prochamber, the exhaust smell stinks, what is this smell? am i running rich or sumthing?

throwedoff · April 28th, 2007, 04:22 AM

The lack of catalytic converters means excess fuel/chemicals in the fuel don't get burnt off I believe, which will cause the smell.

It's normal, don't worry about it.

is there a way to get rid of it??

I was under the impression that if you are smelling exhaust even without converters that you were running rich and should do something about it?

You are not going to get rid of it. You could high flow cats and reduce the smell a great deal and not hurt performance too much. The cats will also quiet you exhaust some. I just had a dyno tune so I am not running rich and still have the smell.

Get use to it or add cats.

No. Exhaust stinks.

matrixpuba · April 28th, 2007, 01:07 PM

mine was the same why when i installed it. after a retune the raw gas smell went away a little.

sonicblue · April 28th, 2007, 01:36 PM

yea its normal but a tune might help a little. i think it smells good

DrHolliday · April 28th, 2007, 03:35 PM

I think you can get a MAC that has removable pipes to put in your own cats...

matrixpuba · April 28th, 2007, 06:21 PM

yes the 2 pipes that connect to the pc are removable so you can put in cats.

zkid01 · April 28th, 2007, 07:42 PM

Thats sweet... i was just hoping for one complete bolt up setup..oh well.

stangarang99 · April 28th, 2007, 08:42 PM
