The trick is to not sit too long in 1 spot and never backup with the windows down.

That's good to know, I didn't realize they smelled bad. Also other than the fact of doing air/fuel ratios with them do they increase HP?

shoulda done some research on "test pipe smells" before purchase! hahaha. My crawford HFC's smell a little bit, not as bad as you describe though, perhaps you should consider some of these. They lose about 2-3 ponies over the test pipes but you wont have to hear the annoying rasp.
