Killa...dont mind these hooligans. i can understand you just fine

i would not run 93 octane in your car if it is not tuned for that gas. our GT's state in the manual to run 87 octane. the smell from your car is unburned fuel. running a higher octane in an untuned car will just make this worse.

What seems crazy to me is that when mine had cats on, they would discharge the rotten egg smell from time to time.
Now that Im cat less, I never have any odor issues.

(2) it just runs a lot better. seriously fellas i am very sorry, please dont be offended. i am very ashamed of myself. and actually my car is tuned for a 75shot that hasnt been on there since jan. of 07

Call me crazy, but I love the smell of un-catted exhaust.

Nothing more manly than smelling like freshly-burned fuel after stepping out of the 'Stang...

is it possible you have an exhaust leak instead?

people that i know with catless exhaust setups never seem to have their cabin smell of unburned gas. unless theyre at a standstill.

I only caught that smell on my cloth is when I get something off the trunk while the car is running, when inside the car and if my window up, no smell. so you think I still have exhault leak ?
