Gas smell with new mufflers?

[eliyarbrough]

When I rev up on my car, it has a strong gas smell. With my old IMCO Racing mufflers, it didn't. Anyone know this is like this? I can see how it would be directly opposite on how it is now. The IMCOs have nothing stopping the flow. These Borlas have 2 chambers, I think. I am typing out of my ass now. I don't don't freaking know! Thanks!!

I put new muffler's on a few weeks ago and it kinda had a stink for a couple days when they got hot. Could be a coating burning off? That's what I figured mine was, it went away after awhile.

a funky smell is common with new exhaust components, takes a few heat cycles to burn off and some stuff like mid pipes I have read can take a hundred miles or more to burn off that smell

I think he bought used from rgs right?, and if that's the case, you might be just burning the soot/carbon out from the previous owner. :dunno:

Yeah I did buy them from rgs! I just wondered if it was normal is all! I kind of thought it was though! Thanks!!

Did your mufflers exit the side before? Because they do now ant its alot closer to your sniffer and so it might be more apparent now!

Came came out @ the exact same spot. Actually, a touch lower! These are lower by about a 1/6 of an inch, maybe.
