when you first start the car? or just whenever.. youll smell the exhaust until ur cats warm up, and if you dont have cats, then u will smell it all the time

it def has something to do with your cats... if you have a stock exhaust system then its a leak before the cats if you have an O/R then you will smell it all the time

Looks like its time to get a new exhaust system lol! This gives you a good excuse to replace your stock stuff with the "sound goods"
