I'm having trouble locating a gas smell after running my 7.
It has a bonez downpipe w/no cats,and 2.5 exhaust all the way back. no air pump. the only thing I haven't checked is the
fuel pump itself b/c I'm still getting great gas mileage. Please if anyone has had this problem!!! HOW ABOUT LETTING ME IN ON THE SECERT.... THANX ???

a common failure point is the fuel pulsation dampener or rod(i think that is the name) if it fails. it will leak gas onto the red hot intake and cauise a FIRE. you should also check all your fuel lines for leaks. sorry if i'm wrong on the name of the part its early in the morning :sigh:

I'm just wondering but cats do burn off the extra hydrocarbons ( or octane) right? So if you you dont have a cat some fumes should be aroud while running the car. This is just a guess.

I have a N/A with no cats and the exaust smells pretty bad. Youll get used to it, Im hoping adding another pre-silencer will hopefully clean the thing up.

The thing stinks coming right out of the tailpipes. Maybe its the fact that the Borla mufflers have zero packing, I dont know. Its a bit loud, and Im getting tired of it being loud and stinky. When I did the exaust 5 years ago, no one had loud jap cars, now all these kids with thier big mufflers on thier Sentras ruined it for everyone. Maybe Ill throw a high flow cat on it then, anything to clean it up would be nice, I would hate to put all 3 cats back on it.
