lee07 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I don't think you have a dp issue it might be a fueling issue, so go and get a tune and everything will/should be fine Or if you want you can go e85, running on corn so there shouldn't be any more smell Check the cabin filter, maybe its dirty and that could be the smell Go get a tune 1st and if it still smell's then maybe go catted/back to stock or whatever you choose Don't go catted and then come back saying it still smell's without getting a tune Tune 1st, the rest after what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuck686 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 ive read the cat on the stock pipe falls apart and takes the turbo with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 ive read the cat on the stock pipe falls apart and takes the turbo with it That's the uppipe, not the downpipe. I think it's best you put the car back to stock, and leave any maintenance and such to professionals.

xero287 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 ive read the cat on the stock pipe falls apart and takes the turbo with it Of course the cat takes the turbo with it. Why wouldn't a cat want to be able to run faster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Even having one Cat you will get a smell, just not as bad. I have a smell with just one Cat on the CNT dp, none in the up and no resegnator on the SPT CBE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuck686 Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 ah maybe it was upipe i read. anyway i bought a high flow spun metallic cat (300 holes or whatver) online so im just gonna get that in and have it tuned Even having one Cat you will get a smell, just not as bad. I have a smell with just one Cat on the CNT dp, none in the up and no resegnator on the SPT CBE. its not terrible now but i know the gf wouldnt like it. any way a cat will help. it sounds like your might not be working as well as it should Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
