Exhaust Smell????

Is there anyway to eliminate the smell my car makes? Even with the catalytic converter on it reeked. Any secrets?

also possible that you could be burning oil, but i think you'd probably know alreday if you were (if not, look for blue smoke)

Yeah I am burning oil. So that means I won't be able to get rid of the smell?

Get rid of it with new rings....

ok, another idea. The fuel dealer at the track used to sell this fuel additive for the alchohol cars that made the exhaust semll nice. All kinds of different flavors, and it is compatible with gasoline. I think Summit has it now...
