When does this occur? While the car is off, while idling in the garage, at all times, etc?

Good luck.

The lack of cats is probably simply allowing emissions to dump a bit more than normal. If there isnt adequate ventillation in the garage, even with cats I can get a headache.

Now if you smell or feel that actual gas fumes are escaping, that isnt good and is a possible recipe for an explosion (as JRichker points out, a gas or fuel vapor leak and pilot lights for water heaters, etc, dont mix).

no, it's all fumes. but i think i know why, the tailpipes are facing the wall and the nose is at the opening of the garage. but i even if i walk to the back of the car eyes water in a second.

I cant say that it's normal, but if I back into the garage, I get fumed out myself. If you can open a back door or window it will help a lot. Be careful with CO! Bump for you.
