Anyone like the smell of good clean exhaust?
i love the smell of a tuned in, good running engine. without cats makes it better. it just reminds of the dragstrip. i hate it when a car smells like rotten eggs, or burning oil, or running rich.

Had to laugh at that subject line.
I agree, certain exhausts please me olfactorily.
When I was a kid gasoline fumes were often pleasing. Maybe that's why I'm still into this cars and racing stuff. Dame Bramage.

LoL my Girlfriend loves the smell of gas fumes... It gets me sick. But the smell of a good clean running exhaust smells very nice in the morning.

In my last Jegs catalogue, they have additives for your fuel that makes the exhaust smell like fruit and stuff. $10 per 4oz bottle, one bottle treats 20 gallons of gas.

I thought I was the only one who liked the smell of pump gas when you hit that Stoch. perfect A/F ratio and don't have a cat to break it down on the way out. Don't get teh smell from the new car yet though. Man I thought having 1 cat sucked, now I got 4
Well... until I put a new H-pipe on.

living in farm country, i like the smell of diesels. especially the ones that spew black smoke as they go under load.
but yes i love the smell of exhaust. the cart race i went to had a nice smelling exhaust to it. say it with me "16,000 rpms" sounds soooo nice dont it?

I hate the smell of unburnt gas out the exhaust. Now jet engine exhaust smells nice, and some turbo diesels as well (their's smell kinda like jet exhaust).

I like first run after installing new exhaust - you open the hood and there's smell of hot steel just having its first burnout. (of course this smell isn't so fine when your ign. wires are fried at headers )
