Hey you offroad guys...I love that you are chatting it up, but I want to know how do you deal with the exhaust smell? I had some UPR offroads on and the one thing I remember was the dang raw exhaust smell!!! It was WWAAAAYYYY LOUD (which is why I changed back) but that was another effect I don't see you guys talking about and a lot of people are using this thread to make a decision.
BTW--I am now saving up for a catted Prochamber....more money...at least I have access to a lift and power tools...ought to take 1 hour.

To be honest, I never really noticed it. I will say this though, since I went back to cats during my exhaust trials from a couple weeks ago, I smell the cats now more than I ever smelled the gas from the o/r pipe. I've noticed that with the stock catted H pipe, I would get a smell that for a while I thought was the clutch- going to the offroad pipe took that smell away totally. Now that I'm running the Bassani catted X, the smell is back: I notice it everyday. Does anyone else have this?

Tom,
I think what you smell with the catted X pipe is the oils or waxes burning off of the new systems. These oils and waxes are used to produce the original exhaust tubing and used again in the bending process as lubricants. Remember when you car was new and you got that same odor for a couple of days. I also noticed that smell again when I put on the Prochamber a few weeks back. It is gone now. I am sure when I put the offroad legs on it will come back. Not sure what to expect the smell will be without the cats.
