That's what I'm assuming they're talking about...I like the smell too, but it isn't too obvious to me. I grew up with carbureted pre-cat vehicles though, and they are much more odoriferous than a properly tuned fuel injected vehicle without cats.

I love how it smells, plus if you ever run race fuel it's that much better...

lol you better wait then. I get nervous everytime I'm around a cop since I have no cats haha. I wanted to install a cat about a foot before my muffler to cut down some of the smell and the rasp.

with 93 octane and no cats you can smell a difference on mine with 3 different tunes... i like it but it sticks to your clothes and gives you a headache after a while

I always called it the "Old School" smell. Reminds me of my dads old truck everytime i smell it. I kinda like it, but yea to much of it can't be good.
