When you removed the cat for a mid-pipe, you removed the "filter" for exhaust gases.
Its perfectly normal to smell the exhaust fumes while stopped when you have a mid-pipe installed.

May I suggesst to do some research on parts and what they do to your car before you make the next purchase?

Your local club meeet is a great source for that.
