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

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...

Cats burn off left over unburnt fuel, so no cats = stinky.

I bet if you sit parked and rev it up good a few times in neutral you'll smell it

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.
