Catless exhaust - fuel smell inside while driving
Hey, got primary and secondary catless DP. Absolutely love what it did to the car, but... the smell behind the car is just foul, and I can sense it inside as well. I frequently drive my with kids for hours, and I don't want to slowly kill them with fumes.
What are my options to mitigate this? Anyone running 200cel cats and can share their experiences? |

CTS Turbo, MAD and some others sell inexpensive 200 cell high flow cars that will stop nearly all the smell. They are not good enough cats to prevent a CEL so you will still need a tune for that.
The only high flow cats that will prevent a CEL are HJS or Gesi, used by Fabspeed, AA, Redstar and maybe a few others. They cost about 5 times as much. I have a set of the CTS Turbo high flow cats that so would sell. I used them for about 6 months before buying MAD catless primaries. My wife notices the catless smell, but I rarely do. |

Just so you know....... the fumes you can't smell when you had your cats on will still slowly kill someone. +1 if you can smell this while you are driving down the road i fell there is a leak somewhere, if it is only when coming to a stop and the exhaust could come back towards the front of the car that is normal. Long highway drive you shouldn't smell anything |

The catted MAD is an excellent option. But if you are smelling fuel inside the car, you got a leak.

Normal during cold start the car is running rich to try and heat up the "cats".
