Hey,



I know when you remove the cat's (DP or whatnot) it changes the smell of the exhaust, but I was wondering how much worse it smells? Or if it's that present when you are driving, sitting still....?



That was going to be my next mod to my Mr2-Turbo,....err before I sold it. So I've never found out how much/bad it smells...

I had seen other posters on this forum say that a rotary would stink with no cat. I was pleasantly surprised that removing my cat didn't make a noticeable difference. It may be that these cars had other issues. If the engine is in good repair and properly tuned, it shouldn't be a problem.

mine doesnt have a BAD smell but i certainly smell more stuff... with no cats though you must remember that theres nothing blocking al lthe unburnt fumes and **** that ur engine makes



i like the smell of rotary with no restrictions....it does smell more like car smell , but its good !!



dan get ur FD already, and if u wanna smell an FC with no cats come over to my house and smell my car

But then again, you don't often notice that to which you have become accustomed. For example... I've heard farmers say that their pigs don't stink.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

I found my cats make a lot of stink when they poop, so getting rid of them rid of the stinkypilesofpoo.

I dont find it a problem. I am still on 110 octane gas from the races friday adn it can get a little stinky. I like it, but sometimes the other passengers dont.
