Last year I added most of the engine mods in my sig. This year I have noticed a strong ehxaust smell when the windows are down. I am wondering if I could be getting this smell because the fuel pressure is to high? I have not noticed any leaking sounds from the exhaust.

I would say if you can't find any leaking... fuel injectors, exhaust it'self etc. that it is most likely your fuel pressure. Possibly need to change your fuel filter? Anyone else??

Check your header to H pipe bolts. I started to get that smell and mine worked loose. I tightened them back up and no smell.
