Let's see, they have no cat, so you're inhaling some poisonous gasses, I'd say it's fu(kin with your brain.

Though summit does sell sented liquids to put in your gas tank.

I think it is the Hydrocarbons you are smelling, toxic. You would get the same smell if you removed the cat.


Man two people beat me to it.
