off road x smells

Saleen0101 · October 4th, 2011, 07:10 PM

I do know that without having cats the exhaust odor is more potent. My question is , how many people notice this? Does it get on your clothes and skin? I drove in stop and go traffic for like 45 mins and I could faintly smell exhaust on my skin, dont know if it was all in my head of not. I wonder if someone driving behind me would notice the raw fuel smell as well. Any input is appreciated.

I've never noticed it saturating myself or anything else and i have been using O/R exhaust for about 3 years now.

Def will notice behind someone with that haha. When I go on cruises with my local club I refuse to be the next car behind someone who's catless. Either in front or at least 2 mustangs behind. It about makes me pass out over a longer haul so I'd assume stop n go wouldn't be any different especially since your going from dead stop and going through 2500 rpm's (where its the worse at). Smelly cabin sure but on your skin? Idk never heard that one before personally. So I cannot say for sure.

yea anyone can notice it. its a very strong smell but you kinda get use to it after a few weeks or so but you can still smell it. that why they say with mil eliminators you want get a code but you want pass the "sniffer" test bc it has an obvious smell to it that the inspector will smell around the car while it running or right after it has been shut down

After you drive your car and "break it in per say" you wont even notice it

I have never noticed anything like that, in fact I have tried myself many times and I have never smelled anything like that.
