Agreed. I can't be showing up to work in my dress clothes stinking like a fuel pump. There's a negligible power difference between running and not running cats. Running a turbo is a different story though if the thing melts and destroys your $1500 turbo.

I think you guys are exaggerating with your clothes smelling like raw fuel...if that were the case, the whole nation would have smelled like Sunoco in the 50's, 60's and 70's lol. Not to mention, if that many exhaust fumes are entering the cab of your truck, you must have some major exhaust leaks at the collectors...

I don't notice mine at all unless I put my head behind the rear tire (dumps over the axle).

Same here. I actually like the smell, but only when I'm at the track, or it's a passing vehicle. I wouldn't be able to deal with it on a daily driver.

If you get a cop with a good nose, you're screwed.
