B&B Race Pipe Question
I was wondering, when you install the B&B race pipe, will the smell of the exhaust fumes be really noticeable. Do rotary engines give off more fumes than a piston engine. cause I'm thinkin of getting a race pipe but not if it's gonna really smell. The fines pretty steep if you get caught, right?

ive witnessed an 8 with b&b midpipe. it does definitley stink. if your driving you cant really smell it, but if the car is idling and your within its vicinity you can smell the fumes. im not sure if the rotary gives off more fumes, but i do know that rotaries have a very distinct smell.

Yeah he's right I have the B&B race pipe and at idle sometimes I need to roll the window up cause it stinks so bad. If I stand at the rear of the car for too long my eyes and throat burn! But I love my race pipe and my rotary!

I have the rp midpipe and I really dont smell the fumes while driving. If I stand outside behind my car I can smell it but don't really mind it. People over exaggerate on how bad it smells, but in fact its really not that bad imo.

It does smell more then a piston engine, becasue the rotary burns so much fuel when its at idle.

I don't like the smell of a high performance sports car that can actually breath, so I'm trading my 8 in for an Escort.
