Problem fixed with the help of a crobat , quick question though. Would bumping my timing up a couple of degrees lessen the smell of unburnt gas?

No. I'm guessing the new X-pipe has no cats. Without the cats you will get a very stinky exhaust odor.

if you do bump the timing dont forget to use the higher octane fuel. Its a free mod for HP but you do have to use better fuel.

Sometimes you can get away with lower octane. I was able to run 14° with 89 octane on my stock engine. Others have had detonation with 93.
