Rotary Performance "Racing" midpipe

I got my rotary performance midpipe today with a resinator! The quality is very good. Less then an hour later, the car was ready to go!

I started the car, and it has a nice rumble to it. I did about 20miles and the CEL didnt come on. :D So I was very happy!

Pulled in to get some gas. Opened the door and the smell hit me! Just terrible! I couldnt believe that the catalytic converter stopped so much crap coming out of the engine! So just a warning to everyone else. It smells VERY VERY bad. Its just a matter of time till I would get pulled over by the police

So its coming off tomorrow.

That's the smell of power perfume! What's wrong with you?

You won't get pulled over because of the way your car smells. It won't pass emissions without a cat so the smell shouldn't be any big surprise.

Nah they'll pull you over if you have an aftermarket catback to go with that midpipe though, I had the b&b and the test pipe and it was really loud. I got pulled over a few times.

I had the B&B midpipe and exhaust combination and it was ridiculously loud. The fumes from the car were really bad. I drove with my windows up for the time that I had the midpipe because at stoplights the smell would just get to me.

I sold that one to you right Velocityred?

Burn your eyes and your nose hair if you stood at the back of the car to get anything out of the trunk while the car was running. haha
