Exhaust Stinky After WAI

[Kolton Lock]

Well the title says it all..
After installing a WAI, my exhaust smells upon acceleration.
It's not like a have a bad cat smell, it just smells like exhaust.
A friend of mine has a WAI on a 95 Stang and it does the same thing, so i am curious if this is just due to the intake being put in, or perhaps the exhaust is being pressured more, any opinions guys?
Or should i just suck it up and deal with the smell? :th_winking:

More air.

More fuel.

Simple.

Smell the gas.

That's what i was thinking Blue
i just wanted to make sure i wasnt destroying the exhaust or anything

 

[blueguy]

It's a grand prix though, cut the cat out before it fails on you anyways.

Because, 90% of the time...it will.

i wouldn't be surprised, especially with 212 on the body. I will take out the cat when i get a new downpipe or headers though. or when i straightpipe from the resonator

 

[blueguy]

Keep resonator.

Keep mufflers.

Do yer ears a favor.

My ears are screwed.

 

[blueguy]

Oh, I meant it makes a nasty noise.

Like.

Honda style mcnasty.

 

[Kolton Lock]

I know i know.
Right now my intake sounds ricey
Im going to go from a 3 inch tube to a 4 inch next time i get some cash

 

[blueguy]

N/A?

Doesn't really matter.

S/C?

Probably wouldn't hurt, but I'd address the downpipe/cat/u-bend first.

Don't straight pipe. Please

Keep resonator.

Keep mufflers.

Do yer ears a favor.

Do other people's ears a favor, like mine!
