I'm not sure, everytime I go out there to figure it out, I wake up with a headache....








Really, it has a sharp smell to it, stings.

Actually I think somethings wrong with mine.. One time waiting in line at Jack in the Crack this guy gets out of his way too tell me that my exaust was buning his eyes. I looked and they were red and watering... Later I was putting my hand on the exaust tail pipe to see if I was still spiting gas sprckles and my eyes started burning like a sting. They started watering and I had to squint for a wile.

Mine smells really rich with a hint of coolant.
That's why I'm putting in another motor.

Mine smells fine. I have gutted cats and a high-flow CATCO main cat. I can't smell it at all.

Talking

Can't explain the smell. Its been 5 months since I drove it.

But as time goes on I'm beginning to realize I's slowly getting beat with the stupid stick
