Default Question about exhaust smell.....?

Was driving to work today and i hammered on it and passed my buddy in his little jeep commanchee. wen we got to work he said i almost killed him with carbon monoxide smell and that hes never smelt it in that dosage. Is this bad? it doesnt smoke or anything... its at high miles 6.0L with dual magnaflows. Im a bit worried because it smells like my buddies little turbo shadow rice burner.

Thanks for the help

Korey

Smalls rich? If you stand behind it does it make your eyes sting? Do you have cat?

Carbon monoxide is an odorless gas

I wish... my cat-less truck smells rich as hell with dual Magnaflows dumped b4 the axle. I'll be redoing my exhaust to a single 3" w/ hi-flow cat & 28" single muff.... and an e-cutout for the track.

carbon monoxide is odorless


what your smelling is the unburnt hydrocarbons- wich is just unburnt fuel

do you have a tune, stock cats, blah blah blah

if you still have your rear O2 sensors active and they arent setting a catylist low efficency code i wouldnt worry about it
