Sitting at a stop light with your windows down, do the exhaust fumes get in your car? I just had Bassani mid lengths and their O/R X pipe put in. Now i smell my exhaust a lot more at stoplights. I know my tune is a bit more rich for my supercharger but just wondering how everybody else is.

that's quite normal for any O/R set up. Just another reason it's called "off-road"
not only should you be getting a very more fumes, it should be a lot stronger smelling

Your tune isn't going to make you any richer at idle after the car is warmed up. Nobody changes closed loop a/f settings even for a power adder car. Are you sure you aren't just smelling the newness burning off the headers. Most of the time it can take a while to burn off any dust, oil, etc. before the smell goes away.

i'll give it some time to break in and see if it is maybe having new exhaust that smells. BTW, I got the ceramic coated headers, is there anyway to tell the difference to know for sure that they did send the ceramic coated vs the regular stainless by just looking at them?
