Well, the exhaust could definetly have a big play in it. Are you sure its not a burnt coolant smell?

Well thats probably it, not to mention if you run a little rich when you punch it with the exhaust dumped like that, its going to smell like gas. mine does the same thing with my dumps.

check ur fuel pressure still
