Sorry I was kind of rude 
. Actually I think you have been on these threads now that I look at them...Its all on the latest thread in the S197GT area...
Your thread is kind of not really asking anything, although Im assuming you want to solve this problem. I would DEF consider calling MAC and talking so someone there..I believe the main problem is using the Off Road pipes, I mean after all, they ARENT meant for daily use.

If exhaust smell really obthers you or your wife, then put the stock catted h pipe back on. Exhaust fumes are just part of what you have to deal with when you remove the cats from any mustangs, and always has been.

Now, I don't think this is the advice mike was looking for. I don't have any fume smell with mine. He shouldn't with his. Look at his avatar!
I'd either go with George's suggestion or call Mak. I would tend to believe there is a leak somewhere. Check your seam welds, if you still have any. No black exhaust marks anywhere? Unless mine is just blowing it out so much that it's not able to get back to my windows?

I'm not sure if you can change the A/F yourself with the Predator, but your tuner should be able to change it at idle. Do you have a wideband? I just received mine. Can't wait to play with the datalogging. I would guess it's fat if you smell it that bad at idle.
