I was ripping on my car the other night and I had a friend behind me... Well anyway the next day she said my car really stunk??? I am clueless!!! I have no idea what it is and I am afraid of driving it til i know... I have an off road h pipe, mac cat back, k&n air filter, and 4.10 gears and I am over 100,000 miles... It isnt a head gasket is it? I dont think it smokes...

I am clean... I shower all the time... No more self confidence with me... :nonono:

I never smelled it... But for a girl to smell it in a car behind me... And one other friend thought he smelled something that stinks once... But he was following me too... These people cant follow me too close when I am on it! Automatic GS eclipse and a neon... So it must stink pretty bad...

I bet if you sit parked and rev it up good a few times in neutral you'll smell it :shrug:
 
All it is is the excess gases that aren't burnt out. When u have hi-flow cats or no cats this happens b/c the gases travel through the pipe faster than it is burnt.
