Does anybody has no cats at all?
So my car has no cats at all and the gas smell when I hit the gas is horrible to a point that all my shirts smell gas rly bad....we checked five times for leaks and there is none
I know that when you r parked, the smell will be bad.,but even on the highway? When I had e92 I never felt the smell in the car with Windows closed and Ac on

something is very wrong there. to get a strong smell in the cabin you must have a leak somewhere close to the cabin, maybe exhaust manifold?

I'm catless and the smell was noticeable at every light but never while driving. I eventually installed a high flow cat and that helped a lot. I suspect you have a leak as well. Did you use new gaskets during install?

Check for black streaks on your exhaust, especially at all the connections.

There's a slight smell, but only sitting still and it's not any worse than my Stage2+ Jetta that was running catless.
Check to see there aren't other problems with your air fuel ratios. |
