Ownerz with midpipe..
 
Does your interior smellz like exhaust fume / gas??
I had my midpipe for about 3-4 yrs now and my interior smells like freakin exhaust fume..It's really not too bad.. but still....

My car is STILL running rich and i was wonderin am i the only one with this problem? lol

The smell is normal.

Drive with the window's up.The smell doent come in.Its good in the winter.

well considering that your unburnt fuel isnt being burned in a cat anymore, it just spits out the back. whenever i'm stopped at a light my eyes water and i feel like passing out.

I don't have any problems with the interior smell, but i've had people follow me and they say it smokes and smells

c00lduke 11-01-04 02:34 PM

Yeah, the smell can get pretty bad. Chicks dont dig it.

Same here, only if I sit and idle will I smell it inside the cabin. Otherwise the interior never smells at all.

I've driven many an FC with a full exhaust, and while there is some smell, it's not super bad. I have been around cars that were running SUPER rich - makes your eyes water and the smell won't leave you clothes kind of rich :).

Do you have any exhaust leaks? Are the plugs fresh?

FstFD3SPOWER 11-01-04 03:31 PM

nah i don't have exhaust leak or plugs are fouled...
I just got new streetported motor put in and car has been running rich with xs eng ECU..

introducing "backfire", a new cologne for men, the essence of gasoline with a hint of burnt oil.

I'm ready to put mine on soon, I can't wait! Maybe this will change as I get older, but I love the smell of any engine running a straight through exhaust. My girlfriend can tell which car I was driving by the smell on my clothes when I walk in the door, heh.

FstFD3SPOWER 11-01-04 05:03 PM

it gets old after few years.. lol

my supra is having same problem too.. haha

spoolin 11-01-04 05:29 PM

i only smell gas when i get on it. its like when boost comes on, its pressurizing the intake and pushing fuel out somewhere. i replaced the injector seals and still does it. im just gonna ride with it..................and a fire extinguisher

Man....that reminded me of the good old days...before I put on the HKS Twin Power. I used to backfire ALL the time lol. On demand, too haha. It was great. :)

Oh and I don't have any fuel smell in my car at all. intake, DP, MP, and freeflow exhaust. BUT, if the wind's in your direction, and you're near the exhaust (be it standing, or just riding shotgun lol) the tissue box is in the back on the right side... lol
