Put in new motor and racing beat header.There is no cat now and the exhaust fumes are really strong.Not what i was really looking for.It's kinda loud now too.Should a new muffler fix this???(it's got freer flowing mufflers on it as well)

Racing beat exhaust mated to the RB header sounds very nice....with the header, quiet is kinda hard to get....

I agree...the RB stuff is good. As far as the exhaust fumes you might wanna check all the parts and make sure they're all correctly tightened, as well as a commonly overlooked part...the shifter boots under the normal shifter boot that you see. There are 3 boots underneath (surrounding) the shifter lever and they keep the heat and smell out of the car (okay, they help anyway...a LOT). Most likely these are either worn out, or just plain NOT THERE. Hope that helps you out, good luck on the noise issue .
