I have no clue as to why you still smell it.
I remember talking to you in the past about having a fuel smell but that was tracked down to my FPR leaking fuel into the engine bay, now that it is fix I have ZERO smell other then the normal smell out the exhaust that again, isn't really noticed when driving the car. I pretty much only notice it when I'm inside my garage.

i'm tuned very conservatively, i smell nothing in the cabin with windows up, windows down i can smell it, it's not that strong, but bearable and normal for having no cats..

foreign...you smell it while driving? I smelled it at idle when i got a whiff of the exhast...but thats not quite the smell. We'll see what happens when it is all done, I think this cat is going to help a lot
Im tuned to the point of having black crap come out my exhaust and leave a mess on my garage floor, it also leaves a nice layer of crap on the rear of the car, again, pretty much no smell, Linh even says she never noticed anything other then the main fuel leak issue.
I think you're going through a lot of trouble only to go... welp, that wasn't it.

I hope not
. Buuut i think it'll help at idle at the very very least. I'm still ok with experimenting with that cat at this point. The only thing I don't like is that if that cat comes out, i need a new downpipe and a retune...doh! I am confident in what MRC told me as the best place (other than 'no place') and in the cat itself to perform like Vibrant said it should.

When you have enough money to buy something like this and pay off your minivan (which you are probably upside down on as well), you will understand that you want things the way you want them to be.
