Hi all,
Like the title says, I'm getting a horrible exhuast smell under load. I was just under the car looking for obvious signs of exhaust leaks, and couldn't find one. I had someone rev the car while I was under it, but still couldn't find the leak. You can only smell it when the windows are down, and you give it just a little more than little old lady accleration.
The car does have a CHEAP catless downpipe, I figured for sure the welds on that would be leaking, but again, no black soot anywhere, but when you smell the exhuast it smells like the car is running horribly rich.
I have checked the EGR tube going to the passenger header, but couldn't see any leaks.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, I really don't want to have to listen to my girlfriend complain about how my car stinks and she should have driven....I also would like to live past my 30th b-day, and if she has to keep driving, I doubt I will
thanks guys,
Joe
