this past week i had a shop install dual flowmaster forty series and ever since they have dun that I smell gas can this be caused by the exhaust and also does dual exhasut help gas milage or kill it? because im starting to think that i have a leak because every time i fill my car up it seems that gas is just draining out of my car or maybe its just me

Dual exhaust is actually suppose to help your gas its possible that when they put it on the might of done something to the gas tank if you got a place to lift it check under it and see if you can spot the leak if its caused by the exhaust take it back and tell them to fix it and blame it on them my brother has a 2000 dodge truck and got dual exhaust and had the same problem turns out the dented his gas tank or cracked it from trying to bend the pipe the right way and he got it fixed from them if its their fault and wont fix it im sure somewhere in there you can sew them :wink

you mpg is going down because your hitting the gas to hear your new exhaust.

it smells like gas because it's new and it has a anti rust coating on it that needs to be burnt off.
the gas smell will go away with time.

yeha, your prolly getting on it a tad bit more since you got the exhaust done, try to lay off a little.

since you have the same exhaust set-up i was planning on getting, could you try to post an exhaust clip within the next few days so i can hear what it sounds like? If you can't it's all good, i just wanted to hear it exactly...
